“Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God." ~ 1 Corinthians 2:6-10
Secret societies and fraternal organizations have existed for ages. People are drawn to them because they promise the knowledge of secrets and unique wisdom that only members can know. We all seem to be interested in knowing the wisdom of some hidden past that only a few ever discovered. But, the only wisdom worth finding and knowing is that which can change our lives for the good.
From ancient times, God prepared to help his people with unheard and unknown wisdom. In a real sense such wisdom simply begins with salvation by grace. With our new life in Christ comes the Holy Spirit who reveals even the deepest things of God. This is the wisdom that goes beyond height, depth, length or breadth, for it reveals all we need to know, to grow, to serve, and to change lives for the good.
Are you looking for spiritual wisdom pastor? Do you feel like you're missing some unique insight necessary to lead your church? There is no Seminary, Bible Conference or Commentary set that will give you that certain edge. Such wisdom is simply received as a gift from God. Stop and reflect on the truth that Paul writes, “We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.” (1 Cor. 2:12) Wisdom will always rest upon those who walk in the Spirit and seek to change lives for the good.
