God's Spirit part 2

good evening,

sorry for the delay in the completion of the God's spirit blog. I have honestly been down in the dumps all day. I just feel sluggish and un movitated and it's not fun. I really don't feel like writing right now... but it's all about commitment right? I guess lol


So where exactly did we leave off? Spirit. All i can say about 1 Corinthians chapter two is that Paul stressed about the Source of his power and the source to God's will and plan for us. It's Him and once we take on this spirit we have access to it all! All we need to do is ask him through prayer. Paul also encourages believers to look beyond the surface God's wisdom, he says it's " something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes." I believe that to mean that not only do we need to pray and spend time with God, but actually read our devtional passages more than once. Really investigate words, their meanings and origins. While we do that God has a way (at least for me, everyone will have their own experience of course) of revealing meanings and ideas we may have missed by just skimiing the passage and ignoring words we may not understand. I believe this chapter uses the word spirit and wisdom so much because the two words go hand in hand. His spirit is the source of our wisdom. And this wisdom can be our understanding That God is responsible for everything in this world and beyond it. Once we understand that, i believe we can better understand ourselves and therefore trust Him more, because there is a better awareness of who and what we are dealing with.



Finally, once we have aquired God's spirit we gain insight or wisdom, but as Paul says this is not the World's wisdom or latest trend of self help, but rathter the oldest message which is God's plan to bring out the best in all of us ( yes even me) and he had it all planned before the world was formed. ( ch 2:verse7) That's why it is important to trust because like it says " Who ever knows what you're thinking and planning except You yourself? (verse 11) God works the same way, that is why no matter how things look in this world, God has it covered Just trust it and keep talking to him so you stay in the know. I mean that's how you keep up with gossip, you have to stay informed and i believe the word gives us way to do so. By reading, fasting, praying, and fellowshiping with others. Yea, its the same thing we do in the natural world, so why not try it in the spiritual?


It's worth the risk.


Well until next chapter happy reading
