Astounding Amazing Grace!

      Lord,  You keep bringing me back to these verses, so I am going to just camp out here for a bit and let these amazing truths sink in.
1 Corinthians 2: 7,12,16b "  No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 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. But we have the mind of Christ. "

      I have to admit, Lord, that this is SO HUGE, I am still trying to wrap my mind around it.  All through scripture, we are told to glorify You in all things and all creation glorifies You. Your glory, not ours, is paramount in everything every day, and I can understand that because You are the eternal, almighty, all knowing, totally holy and righteous God, creator of all that is, and sustainer of all things by your word!  I fall so short of that.

      BUT GOD!   You, through Your Holy Spirit share Your secret wisdom with me that You destined for my glory before time began that I may understand what God has freely given me...the mind of Christ!

      I have no reason to wonder what You think in Your deep thoughts because You have shared them with me.   You wrote Your thoughts down in Your Word and then sent the author to live right inside me and every true believer so we can understand the deep things of God that You have FREELY given me!
      I also understand that is not because of anything I have done or anything I am...but because of Christ and His finished work on my behalf that these things are mine.  I know that a home in Heaven is mine with You for all eternity and that is wonderful to know but hard to imagine, even with all you have shared about it as just a glimpse through the window as it were.  But that is future...maybe the very near future for all believers...but future.
      Right now, as I sit here this morning, I have Your deepest wisdom at my disposal through the Spirit!  This knowledge not only blows me away and is comforting, but also is very convicting when I think that I just don't know what to do in any given situation.  I have no excuse for indecision, sin, or false and muddled thinking.
      Lord, we...I am so unworthy in myself of this amazing astounding gift!  Each moment of each and every day, help me to understand more and more.  I know that because I have  finite mind, even though You created it to be amazing...I can only take bits at a time as building blocks to the whole.  Please teach me Your ways and Your thought, O Lord.
