God is spirit. Those that want to understand and relate to God also need to be spiritual. No point trying to understand the things of God with the natural mind. It just won’t make sense. As Christians our spirits come alive to God through Jesus Christ. Our spirit is then able to communicate with God’s spirit. Jesus knows what God’s spirit is doing and we have Christ’s spirit within us. The spiritual realm has been opened to us through Jesus – we can get insight into what is going on!

Often I find myself getting frustrated and disappointed that those around me just don’t see the God I know and love. A God who longs to reach out love, heal and forgive. This passage of Scripture reminds me why they just don’t get it! It clearly says they will see the ways of God as foolish. It encourages me to pray for revelation and not to carry the criticisms of those that are yet to understand God at a spiritual level.

Dear God, thank you that we have the mind of Christ. What a privilege it is to know what you are thinking and doing! We pray that by your grace others will have this same connection through your son, Jesus. Amen.

    It is so amazing to have the spirit who opens up the things of God ( like his character, will) directly to us. We don’t have to have it shown to us by an intermediary. I love your point about communication spirit to spirit. That’s why prayer is so powerful, not just a kind of talisman.

    Thanks Ainslie, I need to remember daily that I do have the mind of Christ & his spirit does want to reveal things to me. Lord, help me today ask your spirit for guidance & words of wisdom to get me through all the things that need to be done. Amen
