NINETEENTH DAY. ij;be Spirit <strong>of</strong> 'WltsMm. " That the Father may give unto you a spirit <strong>of</strong> wisdom and revelation in the knowledge <strong>of</strong> Him, having the eyes <strong>of</strong> your heart enlightened."-EPH. i. 17, 18. I N the Word <strong>of</strong> God we find a wonderful combination <strong>of</strong> the human and the divine. <strong>The</strong> language is that <strong>of</strong> a man. Any one who has a good understanding can grasp the meaning <strong>of</strong> . the words, and the truths contained in them. Yet this is all that man, in the power <strong>of</strong> his human understanding, can do. <strong>The</strong>re is a divine side in which the holy God expresses His deepest thoughts to us. <strong>The</strong> carnal man cannot attain to them, or comprehend them, for they must be "spiritually discerned." Only through the Holy Spirit can the Christian appropriate the divine truth contained in God's \Vord. Paul prays earnestly that God would grant the spirit <strong>of</strong> wisdom to his readers, eyes that are enlightened through the Holy Spirit to understand what is written, and to know the exceeding greatness <strong>of</strong> His power working in all who believe. Much <strong>of</strong> our religion is ineffectual, because people accept the truths <strong>of</strong> God's Word with the intellect, and strive to put them into practice in their own strength, but it is only the Holy Spirit 38
that can really reveal divine truth to us. A young student in a theological seminary may accept the truths <strong>of</strong> God's Word as head knowledge, while the Word has little power in his heart to lead to a life <strong>of</strong> joy and peace in the Lord Jesus. Paul teaches us that when we read God's Word, or meditate on it, we should pray: " Father, grant me the spirit <strong>of</strong> wisdom and revelation." As we do this each day we shall find that God's Word is living and powerful, and will work experience in our hearts : God's commands will be changed into promises. His commands are not grievous, and the Holy Spirit will teach us to do lovingly and joyfully all that He has commanded. D 39
