THE HOLY SPIRIT: THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM

The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom

and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit

of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

Isaiah 11:2

The Holy Spirit is Spirit of Wisdom; He knows all things actual and potential. He knows

everything you do and all the thoughts you think. Nothing is hidden from Him. Let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart. He can help you discern the true nature of things in your life. The Spirit of Wisdom can teach you more about yourself. You can learn about truth, and you can get wisdom to understand things as they are. As you learn more about the Holy Spirit in the Scriptures, He’ll take away your blindness.

O Spirit of Truth, I need Your presence to help me sort out the motives of

people around me. People take advantage of me and hurt me. I need to

look beneath the appearance of things for a better understanding of

what’s happening in my world. I don’t want to be deceived, but rather,

 I want to be an efficient servant for You.

The Spirit of Wisdom cannot be fooled by the images that people portray, nor can you hide

anything from Him. He looks behind the mask that people use to cover their motives. He sees the real person. Let Him show you what He sees, and let Him transform your life to be like Christ.

O Spirit of Wisdom, help me be honest in all things. When You show me

my real self, don’t overwhelm me with my weaknesses, and sin. Give me

wisdom to accept myself. Give me wisdom to overcome my weaknesses

to be like Christ. Give me wisdom to live this day. Amen.

Reading: Proverbs 2-3

Key Thought: The Holy Spirit will help you to honestly understand yourself.
