1 Corinthians 2:10, The Deep Things of God

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

The Holy Spirit works in tandem with the Word of God to reveal to us the depth of God’s wisdom. It comes as we diligent search the Scripture with prayer.

We are faced with choices daily! To choose to go here or there, this way or that way! How do we know what is the right choice? How can we walk in the path of God’s blessing? 2 Corinthians 2:10 says the Holy Spirit reveal the depth of God’s wisdom to guide us.

Proverbs 2:1-5 says if we diligently search the Scriptures we will understand “the fear of God and find the knowledge of God”.

Proverbs 2:1-5 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

When we study diligently the word of God, personalizing the lessons with much prayer, it will build in us a spirit of self-control, a restraining spirit, a resolute spirit to do what is right in the sight of God. It internalizes for us the reason for doing what we do, so that it becomes a part of our way of life, a godly habit and a godly heritage we pass to our children. It also internalizes for us the consequences of what we should not do giving to us that godly instinct to respond correctly each time when we are faced with a choice, that we may choose the fear of God (Proverbs 1:29). Amen.
