Today's Devotion-The Holy Spirit and the Bible

1 Cor 2:10-14
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. NIV

Many who come across the bible and will reach it diligently will find themselves in a situation of impossibilities, for no matter what level of Inlteegent Quotient they have (IQ) they woun't be able to come even to close to what it means. For the Word of God is not reachable by mans mind unless the Spirit of God dwells in them or rather guide them to it's understanding.

That's why every one who seek God must seek Him with all their hearts by humbly asking the Holy Spirit to give them enlightenment. As we can see today, there are many who seems to be wise and tries to convince people of their understanding in which they have lead many astray. For the understanding of the word of God is only possible by His Spirit. That's why it can be understood even by the most uneducated, the young and the simple man, whom the Holy Spirit is teaching and leading to His word.

Every day then, as we read and meditate His word take a pose and ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit to understand His word. Then and only then the word of God will become alive and transforming in our lives. The Holy Spirit is generous to those who will humbly ask for His guidance.

As the word become clear to us, we will be able to apply its purpose and bring full fruits of its rewards!

Keep on meditating for this is His commanad.(Jos 1:8-9), but don't neglect to desire His leading to guide you to the words true and meaningful wisdom for our good!

God bless and may you keep on knowing Him through His word and by His Spirit!

till then,
