Revealing

Today’s reading: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16, 3:1-4

 “And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.” - 1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It is bewildering to look out at a crowd (hopefully we’ll one day get back to that) at a worship service and see some locked in, actively soaking in God’s word. You can see them feeding on the solid food of God’s word. Then, maybe a couple of seats over, you see someone asleep or texting or online shopping.

We also see people that know the Bible inside and out, and yet their lives lie unaffected by the truth. The piercing conviction of God’s word seems to bounce off their hard exterior.

What is the difference? Paul, in our reading today, shares that the Holy Spirit is always the difference. Though it may not “appeal to the rulers of this world,” the Holy Spirit consistently reveals the heart of God to us each day.

Are you feeling your heart beginning to harden? Perhaps it’s time for you to let the Spirit do what it does best: REVEAL.
