1 Corinthians 2:4-13
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. 7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been
hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None
of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory.9 However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by
his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For
who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In
the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What
we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who
is from God, so 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, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.
Our perspective changes as we grow up. As we learn to look
at the world from God’s perspective, “big” problems become as small as that
backyard. Many things in the world do not change, but how we view the world can
change. With God’s help, we can seek to have the mind of Christ and see things
from his point of view.
Thought for today:
Does anything stop you from seeing the world as God sees it?
