The Deep Truths

UV 3297/10000 The Deep Truths
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

I Corinthians 2 v 10

Man is shallow while God is deep and holy. We are experts at the superficial but novices when it comes to the supernatural and spiritual. We cannot plumb the depths of God’s holiness, power, wisdom, understanding, love without the help of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit helps us search out the will, the wisdom, the power of God. He reveals what is hidden from the world in the Word. The Word is the window to have a glimpse of the deep things of God. The Spirit searches our hearts, our minds, our thoughts and emotions and sees if we desire to align our lives with the purpose of the Lord.

We need to daily ask for the Spirit ‘s help to search out and find the purpose of the Lord for that day and for our lives as a whole. He reveals in part as we do not have understanding to grasp the whole picture at one shot. He reveals, as scripture says, line by line, precept by precept. As we show our dissatisfaction with the shallowness and superficiality of a life without the Lord, the Spirit will lead us into deeper and deeper truths. We need to be faithful in carrying out or practicing the instructions and deeper insights the Lord has granted us over time. We cannot be just hearers and not doers. We need to silence our own thoughts and emotions in order to do “deep listening” to the Spirit of God. Having listened intently, we need to act intentionally to obey the voice of the Lord.

The truths of the Lord are revealed, taught, explained to us not to increase our “head knowledge” but to give us wisdom for practical application. There has to be a constant transference of truth from head to heart to hands. From the depths of our souls, we need to communicate, commune, fellowship with the Lord with nothing being hidden from His all knowing and all seeing mind. We should always be willing to open every aspect of our lives for examination by the Holy Spirit, to give up what He asks us to and to take in what He shows us. Our perception, understanding, experience of His love needs to be deeper and deeper. The deeper and stronger our roots in Him who is the good root, the stronger and freer our wings. As we increase our depth, we grow into spiritual maturity and fruitfulness.
