Things that confound the Wise

Oh the great mysteries of God!

Everyday i am shocked by a new facet of His beauty!

Truly ladies and gentlemen, if you are bored with God-you need revival! You need to Holy Spirit to break in a liven things up, because there is never a dull moment with God! And if you think you have God all figured out, you had better head back to Genesis, for who can know the Eternal One?

Recently i have been stuck in 1 Corinthians 2. I never realized how much i was missing by neglecting the Holy Spirit in me! He is our power cord to God! Our direct link.

Truly, we cannot even begin to understand God with out the help of the Holy Spirit inside of us. The "wisdom" of man never can and never will comprehend God eternal, the one who was there before time, who has no beginning and no end.

My poor little brain can hardly even handle thinking about someone that big!

But God will reveal His great mysteries to us by His Spirit (1 Cor 2:10) if we only ask Him (James 1:5)

The problem is, that we come at God with our limited understanding, and try to apply what we know to Him, thus putting His character in a box that is far too small for Him. We cannot understand by the ways of this world or our human "wisdom".

Let's put aside our humanistic thinking and study the deep things of God!

"We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we declare God's wisdom, a mystery that had been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understand it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." -1 Corinthians 2:6-8

Are you guys reading what i am!?

Let's put it simply;

All the people of this age, who think they are so smart with their philosophies and sensible words, really are deceived. It doesn't matter how good they sound, or if the think they can rationalize away the reality of God's existence, their wisdom will -and is- coming to nothing.

But all of God's glory, His wisdom, is accessible to us! We who have His Spirit within us have the opportunity to know the deep things of God!

"For who knows a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit within? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not recieved the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us." -1 Corinthians 2:11+12

Did you catch that? God's Spirit is the only One who knows His thoughts, and He freely gave us His Spirit that we might understand. I don't know about you, but i serve a good God!

It's sad to me, that even many Christians remain in the dark about His character because they don't take the time to learn about His personality and ask the Spirit to reveal the deep things of God to them. The Bible is easy to misunderstand and write off as nonsense if we don't have the Spirit of God within in us to help us to understand the deep things He wants to reveal about Himself.

Even just in these last two months, i can't emphasize enough how huge this had been in my spiritual life. Just simply asking God to reveal Himself to me and communing with the Holy Spirit has helped me to grow by leaps and bounds. The Holy Spirit wants to talk to us, we just have to take the time to listen.

I am beginning to understand more and more why the deep things of God scare and confound even the wisest of men. Those with human knowledge think they understand, but they cannot know God without His help.

No one can know God without His help.

Thank you Lord for sending us the Helper! (John 14:26)
