His Spirit's whisper in my spirit

1 Corinthians 2:10-12

10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

These three verses are such interesting verses and teaches us so much about how spirit works.  Contrary to the theology many of us grew up with, Paul makes it clear that man has spirit.  God has Spirit and the world also has spirit.  Paul encourages us by making us aware that God does not give us the spirit of the world and he then continues to explain that God gives us His Spirit, in our spirits, so that we might know the things, yes, the deep things of God.  This remains a mystery to many of us, but in faith we can receive and expect and be comforted by the fact that since we know (at least in part) the things of God, it must mean that we therefore have received the Spirit of God, and that He is at work in our hearts, drawing us closer and ever deeper into the knowledge and revelation of God.  A miracle indeed, nevertheless one we were created for before the foundation of the earth.  

Point to ponder: 

Ask Holy Spirit to make us aware of God's Spirit in our spirit this week in whichever way He should choose to.
