God’s Gift To Man
The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
God’s greatest promised gift to man!
The Holy Spirit is God’s abiding gift, God’s seal and His promise. The Holy Spirit is our assurance that what He began with Jesus’ sacrificial death and our participation in it through faith and baptism, He will bring to completion. But the world (those who are not born-again by the Spirit of God) cannot understand this great and precious promise, just like they cannot truly understand much of the Scripture, because without the Holy Spirit, their eyes see only what is written on the pages, and what they can touch with their fingers and what their intellect tells them is true. But, intellect cannot reveal to one the true meaning of God’s heart and what is written in the scriptures. It must be revealed by the Spirit of God to our spirit. Because the things of God are spiritually discerned, the world cannot see what is true in God’s heart and in His Word (Spiritual Truth) because they can not touch and commune with His Spirit.
MY PRAYER…
Great Eternal I Am, Who is and was and will be forever, I thank You for sending Jesus. Jesus, I thank You for sending the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, I thank You for never leaving me alone. Thank You Lord for opening the eyes of my understanding that I might know and understand Your Word. That I may know what is the hope of Your calling, what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power in and towards us who believe. O Lord, fill me anew each and every day until my will and my life more nearly reflect Yours. Use me to bless others just as Your presence now blesses me. Through Jesus I pray.
Amen
