Enlightened Beyond Our Capability

Galatians 1:15-16

But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;

As human beings, we all attain some level of learning, understanding and wisdom.  Too often, however, we are satisfied with gaining this insight through the counsel of men.  Is it possible that there is more for us to learn?  Is it possible for us to delve deeply into the riches and inconceivable perfection of Almighty God?  Is it possible for us to grasp the mind of the Lord?

All the head knowledge in the world cannot prepare us to fully understand the essence of Almighty God and His plan for the world.  Let us be aware that we are given the opportunity to be enlightened beyond our normal human capability.  Our Heavenly Father reveals the deepest mysteries through His Holy Word and through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  Our challenge is to let go of our reliance on the words of man and grab on to the living words of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.

To expose ourselves to the treasures of the mind that await, we need to set aside quiet time if we want to hear what God wants to say to us.  We have to prepare ourselves through the reading and study of the Bible.  We have to find a time and place where we shut out the clamor of the world and just listen. 

Let us seek our counsel from the One who is waiting for us to welcome Him into our lives.  Let us ask Him to reveal all of His mysteries to us.  Let us go to him daily with a simple question, "Father, what do you want to reveal to me today?"  

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are always with us, ever ready to speak to us and ever ready to hear our prayers.  We pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us in finding and setting aside a quiet time and place to study Your Holy Word and to commune with You each day.  Lord, may we learn to delight in Your Word and delight in Your presence.  We ask that through Your Holy Spirit that we learn how to experience the revelations of who You are.  Through Your grace, may we begin to understand all of Your wonderful mysteries.  We pray these things in the name of the living revelation of Your Word, Jesus Christ.
