Wisdom 7:22 - 8:1 / Luke 17:20-25
The religious instinct of man is to seek for the supreme higher power or the supreme deity.
This is especially so when man realises his limitations and seeks protection from the supreme being.
Mankind tends to use their own intelligence and ability to make out what this supreme being is like.
For us Christians, we believe that it is God who reveals Himself to us.
God reveals Himself through the Scriptures and finally through His Son, Jesus Christ.
But we can only understand and believe the revelation of God with His help.
God sends the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom to know, to understand and to accept His revelation.
It is the Holy Spirit who prompts and guides us to accept that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
It is the Holy Spirit that gives us the faith to live out the mysteries of the Kingdom of God in our lives.
Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to lead and direct us to build the Kingdom of God within us and around us.
