Wisdom from the Spirit

This week Paul continues on the topic of wisdom. He begins with how he came to the church at Corinth on his first visit. As a brilliant scholar who could have overwhelmed his listeners with intellectual arguments, Paul instead shared the simple message of Jesus the Christ by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide his words.

As you share and live the truth of Jesus, rely on the Holy Spirit that resides in you, and the wisdom of God will lead you through everything in your life. The more we allow ourselves to trust in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the more mature we become in knowing what is good for us and what is not.

This wisdom that comes from above comforts us, guides us, and gives us hope and courage to press on in this life as we depend on knowing the wonderful and eternal future that awaits us. — Pastor Don
