Divine Intelligence

 

God’s thoughts are higher than my thoughts.

 

 

1 Corinthians 2:9-10a (ESV)
But, as it is written,

“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has prepared for those who love him”—

these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. 

Not just higher intelligence — divine intelligence, more than I can think or imagine on my own.  And it’s available to me through the Holy Spirit. Thanks be to God!

 


Good morning, Lord. Thank You for granting me insight into Your divine wisdom and knowledge. The more I study Your Word, the more I know and understand. Forgive me for placing too much value on the so-called wisdom of our culture. Teach me to weigh it against Your Word and follow what is good and godly in Your eyes.

When my thoughts start to wander astray, Holy Spirit, lead them back to the path of righteousness, for Your name’s sake (Psalm 23:3).

    I’m really enjoying your daily prayers and thoughts.
    I’m wondering what translation or version you used for Psalm 23:3?
    It’s beautifully written.

      You made me chuckle, Pam. Which version? The one in my head … likely King James, since I memorized Psalm 23 as a young child. I think the ESV is similar.

    None that I looked at match your wording but I love it and I think it is an accurate version but more like a prayer. Thanks for responding
