HIS MIND – MY WISDOM

Bible Meditation: 
1 Corinthians 2:1-16

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ – 1 Corinthians 2:16

Here the Scriptures speak of a wisdom that is only for the spiritually mature. This wisdom comes from God and opposes the foolishness of a carnal and sinful world. It was a wisdom that many in Corinth lacked, and a wisdom that many in the modern church still lack. Like the Corinthians, many ‘believers’ today, think that they can be wise without being mature; or consider themselves more mature than they really are. Sound biblical decisions cannot be made when one lacks the spiritual maturity necessary to recognize the biblical options.

Thank God for the intervention of Grace upon our extreme human limitations. However absurd it may sound, the truth is: we have the mind of Christ! The heavenly Father has bestowed to all of His children, the Mind of His Son Jesus Christ. We are connected to the Fount of Wisdom. The Mind of the One through whom the entire universe was created is available to us. We are neither restricted to human reasoning nor bound by the limitations of philosophies. The greatest of history’s thinkers fall drastically short of discerning eternal truth by natural efforts.

God offers us a supernatural access to ultimate reality from an eternal perspective. We have the Mind of Him for whom HISTORY is HIS STORY! His Words attest to the trend of events and the direction of history. The Almighty God who holds tomorrow also holds all power in the palm of His right hand. We know how to escape this fallen world; and we know who holds the future.

Then, what is the problem? We often resort to lesser means of wisdom because we’re unaware that the mind of Christ is accessible, or we’re unable to believe such an extravagant promise. And if we can’t believe it, we can’t have it. The mind of Christ is ours through the Spirit of God, who comes to us only through faith. The Spirit searches the deep things of God and reveals them to His people (1 Cor.2: 10). Such things are foolish to the world, but they are truth nonetheless – truth that we can know and establish our lives on.

Prayer: 
Lord, rekindle my consciousness of the Mind of Christ in me; re-connect me to the eternal Fount of Wisdom in Jesus name.
