10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
DAILY READING Luke 15; Genesis 27:1-45; Psalm 20
During World War II, a British naval officer was evacuating troops from the beaches at Dunkirk in 1940 when he was captured by the Nazis. From the German prison camp, he sent letters home to his parents. The letters would always start with my dear mummy and daddy, and talk about mundane things like farming and the weather etc. Though on the surface they looked like simple letters, underneath were coded secret messages for the British military involving fiendishly complex alphanumeric codes. The unsuspecting Germans who posted the letters for him, never knew that the coded words contained hidden war intelligence report. In one letter, he hid intelligence about the sinking of a British submarine by writing about the PoW [Prisoner of war] camp’s vegetable garden. From his letter, British intelligence experts were able to decode the message and learn about the sinking of the British submarine, the HMS Undine, which was destroyed in 1940.
In a similar way it takes The Holy Ghost to ‘decode’ the scriptures for you. God is saying so much more than you think, but you need revelation to fully grasp it.
The Bible says in Psalm 62:11 ‘God has spoken once, twice have I heard this that power belongs to God. .’ There is more than one hearing to every word in scriptures. The first hearing is general knowledge on the surface for everyone to see, but the second hearing is revelation, personal knowledge which The Holy Spirits imparts to you about your present situation. This is what brings solutions and revolutions in one’s life. You need to go beyond the letter on the surface and begin to hear the revelation of The Spirit. What is revealed to us, is what truly belongs to us.
PRAYER: Lord, by Revelation of Your Spirit, let Your Word be made plain to me, help me to understand what you are really saying to me about my situation…..
