1 Corinthians 2:12-16 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13?Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14?But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15?But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16?For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Who hath known the mind of the Lord? Interesting question isn’t it? (Verse 16) Have you ever tried to figure out the mind of the Lord? If we are honest we all would have to admit that from time to time we have questioned the Lord have we not? When we do that we are trying to figure out the mind of the Lord. When there are trials and troubles in our lives we often do this, when faced with a difficult decision we often do this, when we don’t understand we often try to know the mind of God. We are as foolish as the natural man when we do this, when we question God, when we try and understand all things. What we need to do is walk in the Spirit of God, rest in the Word of God, and seek the will of God. There are many things, more than not, that God will give understanding in if we just walk in His Spirit. We don’t need man’s wisdom, we don’t need natural understand, we need the spiritual discernment to accept His will for our lives and walk in it. We need the mind of Christ. But according to the passage we already have that mind if we would just yield to the Spirit of God. Walk in His Spirit today.
