His Spirit Reveals

1 Corinthians 2:9-11 (NIV)
⁹ However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"--
¹⁰ but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
¹¹ For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

How awesome it is to consider the wonderful gift and work of the Holy Spirit.  Our own spirits are contained in these bodies.  They reside in this flesh, unable to leave its mortal home.  Unseen by others, our spirit is alone in the witness of our thoughts and feelings that we hold to ourselves.  This gives insight to our longing for intimacy. 

This passage describes the Spirit of God in the same way, except the Holy Spirit is free to go where He chooses.  He searches all things, even the deep things of God.  He speaks only the things of God because He is God, the Spirit of God. 

The amazing fact is God’s own Spirit comes to us, and communes with our spirit.  We become intimately united with God Himself.  This union exposes us to the things of God, to the riches He has prepared for us in advance.  It satisfies the hunger within that can not be satisfied any other way.  This is the bread of life.  We become one with God, therefore never alone.  We begin to know as we are known.  Our spirits are awakened to a new life in the kingdom of God.  We are guided by the Holy Spirit as He reveals the mercy, wonder, and comfort of the Father.  We are drawn to the day when our spirits will no longer be bound by this flesh.  He will make us ready.  He will get us there.  His Spirit makes it possible and guarantees the outcome.
