(S)cripture-
1 Cor. 2:12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.
(O)bservation-
As believers, we do not have the spirit of the world in us but we have God's Holy Spirit. We live in this world, but we are freed from our sinful natures and we no longer have to conform to the ways of the world. God set us free by sending Jesus to die on the cross for us and raising Him from the dead - breaking the grip that the world has on us and releasing us from the power of sin, evil, and death. As believers, we have the Holy Spirit in us - to teach us what is godly and lead us in doing God's will. Through the Holy Spirit we can come closer to God and know the things He has freely given us. We have a deeper appreciation for Jesus' sacrifice and our salvation, the gifts that God has given to each one of us, and the things that God has planned for us both now and in the future.
(A)pplication-
I completely humble myself before God, giving Him everything and asking that He lead me through His Holy Spirit in everything I do. I don't want to miss a single opportunity of doing His will or what He has planned for me. My desire is to intimately know the Holy Spirit, who intimately knows God, and to be led by Him and have a deep understanding of everything that God has freely given to me.
(P)rayer-
Heavenly Father, I pray that Your Holy Spirit would lead me in all that I do and that I would more fully know and understand what You have freely given to me. I already know that I am so blessed and it is only through Your love and grace that I have the most precious gift salvation through Jesus Christ. Please lead me through Your Holy Spirit that I would be a mighty warrior for Your Kingdom - and that I would prosper, achieve, and soar at great heights in accordance with Your will and thereby glorifying Your holy name. I love and praise You. Amen.
