Luke 4:28-30

When He was faced with violence, brethren, He fled the area. His work had to go on and so God intervened. I think that Psalm 91 kicked in here and Jesus was the victim of something that He could not foresee. He was not tempting God in any way here. He was doing His job, persecution arose against Him very quickly and so God protected Him from the immediate danger. But Jesus fled to another area. He went to Capernaum. Brethren, God is not illogical. He does not defy His own laws. He expects His people to use both faith and wisdom—maybe we could say, "common sense."

Because of faith, God will do for us what we cannot do for ourselves—like He did right here for Jesus in protecting His life, and in some way miraculously enabling Him to pass right through a very angry crowd. But wisdom in this case is clearly shown—He means for us to do something physical to remove ourselves from the danger. Jesus left the area. So there is a faith factor and there is also wisdom. The wisdom, I believe, is a fruit of one's faith.
