Romans 8:5 (NKJV) 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
Our minds can be funny things. We think, we ponder, we rationalize and we try our best to figure everything out.
Our spirits, on the other hand, learn to look to God to help us sort things out.
Our spirits develop an understanding that sometimes things don’t have to make sense to our minds in order for everything to be alright.
Intellect is God-given. So it’s not a case of God not wanting us to think or reason. He does want us to do both of those.
But, as we learn and grow as a believer, and our spirit grows, we will develop a new understanding of things that goes beyond what our minds can comprehend. This will allow us to move in ways that transcend natural understanding and logic.
Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
We will begin to understand God better, spending less time questioning Him and His ways, and more time looking forward to what He will do in our lives, on His terms.
Then we will truly begin to comprehend that peace that surpasses all understanding.
