Mystery of God's Wisdom

We speak about the mystery of God’s wisdom. It is a wisdom that has been hidden, which God had planned for our glory before the world began. But as Scripture says: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him.” God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, especially the deep things of God. “Who has known the mind of the Lord so that he can teach him?” However, we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:7, 9, 10, 16 GW)

 We have the Spirit of God living in us. As we walk through this life, we have a choice to either give Him absolute sway and allow Him to have say in our words, our actions, even our reactions or we can choose to listen to our feelings, our past, or others.

God didn’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment. 2 Timothy 1:7

This is how we should live Holiness and Hope ...

Present Day Holiness - Our Christian walk is not an endless climbing up a hill of obedience to reach the checkpoints of holiness along the way, but rather a moment by moment yield to Him who is Holy in all that He does. If we are attentive to His Voice, then the Spirit of God(the Mind of Christ) is actively having His Way. 

Future Hope - I heard a message recently about being on The Verge. The preacher was talking about the moments before deliverance or before a miracle. I could not help thinking of riding a wave...when you are on the top of the wave if you close your eyes you do not realize what is about to happen, but the most exciting part of being on the top of the way is the anticipation and hope of the ride once the wave breaks. 


I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope. Jeremiah 29:11
