John 16:13 "But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into all truth. He will not speak his own words, but he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is to come. 14 The Spirit of truth will bring glory to me, because he will take what I have to say and tell it to you."
This portion of scripture came to me yesterday while blogging. I guess this has been my prayer, that the Spirit would just lead me into all truth. It is saying that the Spirit, the Holy Spirit, leads us into all truth because He tells us what He hears from God the Father,and we know and can rest that what the Spirit has to say is truth because the Father is truth!!!
At times it can be hard to just search for truth when life is coming at you full force, when life is in chaos, and when it seems like trial after trial keeps coming in this world. I have to tell you that searching for truth and searching for God is what will keep us grounded in a world full of chaos. When we are looking for truth, we are really looking for God because God is truth! The Spirit will lead us into all truth even in the midst of a storm. If you want to know truth start searching for God, the things of God and search for His heart! He will lead you into the truth, He will lead you where you are to go. All that the Spirit does and says gives glory to God since He is hearing from God. Start speaking to the Spirit and getting in tune with the Spirit. Since the Spirit is who leads us in truth and tells us what God has to come!
I really liked this next verse below. It really spoke to me in a different way about the Spirit.
1 Cor 2: 10-13 "The Spirit, not content to flit around on the surface, dives into the depths of God, and brings out what God planned all along. Who ever knows what you’re thinking and planning except you yourself? The same with God—except that he not only knows what he’s thinking, but he lets us in on it. God offers a full report on the gifts of life and salvation that he is giving us. We don’t have to rely on the world’s guesses and opinions. We didn't learn this by reading books or going to school; we learned it from God, who taught us person-to-person through Jesus, and we’re passing it on to you in the same firsthand, personal way."
I love the wording here. It says the Spirit dives into the depths of God. I have a very picture oriented mind and just the thought of that, and just the thought of seeing that in my mind excites me. It is amazing that God thinks things and then the Spirit dives into the depths of God and brings out those plans and then REVEALS them to us!!!! He lets us in on the plans that God has. He includes US in His plans. How amazing is that! The God of all the universe wants to include us into HIS plans. It is awesome to think. God has a plan and in that He has a plan for our lives! God will give us a report through the Spirit of the plans, gifts, talents and of the salvation that He has for us through Christ which are in the thoughts of God. We don't have to guess, and we don't have to rely on the world to show us what we ought to do while we are here on Earth, we can rely on the Spirit to show us because He brings out the plans and makes them known to us. God clearly lets us know what He is doing! God taught us these things through Christ, and now we have that gift of passing on what God has for everyone!
I love when God shows us new things in His word. I really want to to know God and the Spirit more in depth, and I really want to be led into all truth. The only way to be led into truth is to lean on God and let the Spirit speak. The Spirit has complete access to God, it says above that He dives into the depths of God and then shows us what God has in store! I am excited to see all that God has, and I know that it is good.
Even though from time to time the storms of life rage around us, we still have a hope and know that our future is bright because of what God has done and because of what He wants to do and accomplish in our lives and through our lives.... Isn't God amazing!
I encourage you to seek Him, seek the Spirit to lead you into truth. He dives into the depth of God so that He can reveal to us what God has planned. Remember God has planned good things for your life, and wants to show God's love through your life! Allow yourself to be led into truth and be used by Him! I also encourage you to let God speak through His word to you!!
Be blessed today!
