Scripture has some interesting things to say when comparing things spiritual to things natural. Jesus tells Peter, when he makes the great confession,
“Blessed are you, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed these things to you but my Father which is in heaven.”
In another place, Paul states that the Spirit reveals to us “things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard.”
There are matters deeper than flesh. These matters are not known through your five senses. These are matters of the Spirit. These are things that matter most to God. These are matters of the heart and soul. They come from his Spirit to your spirit. You are privileged to hear and learn things hidden though the ages and hidden from others.
God will reveal matters to you that no university can teach you. You will learn what cannot be learned in seminary, church, or Sunday School!
Stay close to God. Love truth and allow truth to seep into every corner of your being and your life. Keep him close. Keep the communication open with your spirit. Keep your spirit open to God’s Holy Spirit. You will be amazed at what you can see and perceive that no one around you can know or see. You will learn things about God. You will learn deep things about yourself. And, you will learn things about others. Use the information wisely to better serve God and others. Be gentle toward all.
Spiritual things ultimately matter most! All else is of flesh and passes away with flesh. These things remain after all material things have gone the way of all the earth.
Lift you eyes toward heaven. Look and drink deep. Your soul will be refreshed. Your spirit will be healed. You will have what is sufficient to sustain you. You will have much left over to give to others.
