1 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV) But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
The human mind is incredibly created and intricately formed by God. It has unbelievable power and potential to think and reason.
But it can never fully comprehend the things of God. It just can’t, no matter how intelligent a person is.
The ways of the Spirit of God are so far beyond what the human mind can comprehend, it baffles us. We try hard to get a grasp of what God does and how He does it, but intellect and spirit just don’t mix.
This is the reason that so many people can’t find it in themselves to have faith in a God that they can’t see, simply because they can’t understand Him.
And so it is, that God has caused us to have to have faith in order to believe that He even exists.
It is only by God’s Spirit that we can find Him. It is only His spirit that can break down the barriers of human intellect and draw us to Himself.
This doesn’t mean that we have to be ignorant or uneducated in order to believe God or follow Him. It just means that we need to recognize the drawing of His spirit when He tugs on our heart.
Then and only then can we bow before Him in reverence and follow Him in true faith.
