Morning by Morning, January
18 – “Taught by the Spirit”
Good
morning, Lord Jesus. You’re my Lord and Savior, my Healer and Redeemer, my Best
Friend and Faithful Companion. Thank You for the beginning of another day of
our great adventure in my journey of faith.

“But
as it is written, ‘What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart
conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him’ — these things God has
revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, even the
depths of God…. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the
Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the gifts bestowed on us by
God. And we speak of these things in words not taught by human wisdom but
taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual things to those who are spiritual”
(1 Corinthians 2:9-13).
Holy
Spirit of God, teach me the deep things of God, the spiritual things that human
wisdom can’t know, the spiritual things that eyes haven’t seen and ears haven’t
heard. Teach me things that my God has prepared for me for God’s purposes
through me. Teach me Spirit to spirit, as “Deep calls to deep” (Psalm 42:7).
I
want to be a spiritual man, taught by the Spirit of God. I want to abide in
You, as You abide in me, learning from Your Holy Spirit as I listen from my human
spirit (John 15:4). Help me become fully developed in my spiritual life, always
living and learning, growing up and maturing, “in the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit” (2 Corinthians
13:14). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
