“WISDOM FROM THE SPIRIT!”

 1 Corinthians 2:6-11

“WISDOM FROM THE SPIRIT”                  (ESV)

“[6] Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. [7] But we impart a SECRET and HIDDEN WISDOM OF GOD, which GOD DECREES BEFORE THE AGES for our glory. [8] NOME of the RULERS OF THIS AGE UNDERSTOOD this, for if they had, THEY WOULD NOT have crucified the LORD of glory. [9] But, as it is written, 

    “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,

        nor the heart of man imagined,

    what GOD has prepared for those who love HIM”—

    [10] these things GOD has revealed to us through the SPIRIT. For the SPIRIT searches everything, even the depths of GOD. [11] For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also NO ONE comprehends the thoughts of GOD except the SPIRIT of GOD.”

What REALLY happened a few years following the Brain Hemorrhage was a therapist who worked with me during my recovery suggested that I began to write a daily journal to improve my “word selection”, or my ability to use the language I had years before.  Little did I know that the MAIN thing that was needed was to SLOW DOWN and listen to “WISDOM FROM THE SPIRIT”!!!

Scripture is VERY UNAMBIGUOUS that GOD has a Plan that we fulfill, even when we do things that are contrary to HIS WORD.  King David was “a man after GOD’s OWN HEART” (1 Samuel 13:14), but David committed adultery with Bathsheba and then had Uriah (her husband) killed in battle!  GOD then “used” the evil that King David committed to GLORIFY HIMSELF, for in the lineage of JESUS it is written in Matthew 1:6 “and Jesse the father of David the king. And David WAS THE FATHER OF Solomon BY THE WIFE OF URIAH,”!  The mother of King Solomon was Bathsheba and Matthew 1:6 says she was THE WIFE OF URIAH!  

Most people try to avoid being USED by others because we think we are “above” that.  But ALMIGHTY GOD uses us to accomplish HIS PLAN to GLORIFY HIMSELF!  What could be better than to have THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSES CHOOSE “little ole you” to be a CHOSEN VESSEL and EDIFY and GLORIFY HIS KINGDOM!  

Being a Brain Hemorrhage Survivor is a humbling and rewarding thing!  I had NO part of the healing process.  As a matter of fact, being in a coma may have been GOD’s WAY of removing my interfering actions?  Slowing my “word recall” down has caused me to PONDER things more thoroughly and to SEEK “WISDOM FROM THE SPIRIT”!!!  GOD USES the most “unbelievable” things to GLORIFY HIMSELF!!!
