Ever notice how following Jesus changes the way you see everything? Not overnight… but steadily. Quietly. Deeply. You start noticing things you’d never noticed before.

Paul captures that shift in a single verse: The spiritual person...

Why Everything Feels Unstable in America Right Now
The Daily Devotional by Vince Miller
SUMMARY: Everything feels unstable right now—and it’s not just political. When authority is contested, truth is negotiable, and order fractures, fear fills the gap. This video exposes why human systems can’t carry the weight of our peace—and why the church must return to bold submission to the unchanging authority of God’s Word (Psalm 119:89). REFLECTION & SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What makes instability feel more personal than political? 2. Why does contested authority produce fear—even for people who avoid politics? 3. Where do you most often look for peace when...

Many believers think they’re supposed to have everything figured out. Like they should instantly know God’s will, instantly understand Scripture, or instantly sense the “right” next step. But Paul is incredibly honest here: You can’t figure out God on your own. And you’re not expected to. These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For...

One of the hardest parts of following God isn’t obedience. And it isn’t sacrifice. It’s the waiting in the dark—the moments when you can’t see what God is doing, and it feels like nothing’s happening. Paul speaks right into that tension. Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to...

There’s a quiet pressure most people feel — the pressure to be enough. Strong enough. Wise enough. Disciplined enough. Spiritual enough. Successful enough. And when we’re not? We hide it.

Some people miss God’s answer because it doesn’t look like the answer they wanted. The Jews wanted signs — power on full display. The Greeks wanted wisdom — arguments polished like marble. Everyone wanted something impressive. But God didn’t send a performer or a philosopher. He sent a crucified Savior. Not what they asked for… but God gave something better. For...

Our text today is 1 Corinthians 2:14.
You’ve probably felt this before—trying to share something God is doing in your life, only to be met with a blank stare. Maybe they look confused. Maybe uninterested. Maybe they just don’t feel what you feel.
Paul explains exactly why that happens.
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. — 1 Corinthians 2:14
This verse is both clarifying and comforting.
Clarifying because it explains the disconnect.
Comforting because it reminds you the issue isn’t you.
Paul’s point is simple: spiritual truth requires spiritual sight.
Without the Spirit, the gospel sounds odd…
Grace feels unnecessary…
Obedience looks restrictive…
Conviction feels offensive…
And spiritual wisdom seems foolish.
It’s not that people are too smart for God.
It’s that without His Spirit, they simply can’t see what you see.
You can’t expect natural eyes to recognize supernatural truth.
And here’s the part we often forget:
The fact that you “get it” is evidence that God opened your eyes.
You didn’t figure out the gospel — the Spirit revealed it.
You didn’t create a hunger for truth — the Spirit stirred it.
You didn’t suddenly value holiness — the Spirit changed your heart.
What feels obvious to you now
was once impossible for you to understand.
So instead of frustration with those who don’t get it, let this verse shape you toward compassion.
Toward patience.
Toward prayer.
Toward hope.
God opened your eyes.
And He can open theirs.
And this truth also builds confidence in your own walk:
You’re not crazy for believing what you believe. You’re awakened.
Spiritual things make sense because the Spirit is at work in you.
You see what you never used to see.
You value what you never used to value.
You understand what you never used to understand.
That’s not foolishness.
That’s transformation.
DO THIS:
Think of one person who doesn’t “get” your faith. Pray, “Spirit, open their eyes the way You opened mine.” Then show them patience today.
ASK THIS:
- Who in your life doesn’t understand spiritual things — and needs patience instead of pressure from you?
- What spiritual truth used to seem foolish before God opened your eyes?
- How does this verse grow compassion in you?
PRAY THIS:
Spirit, thank You for opening my eyes. Give me compassion for those who can’t yet see what You’ve shown me. Use my life as a gentle witness today. Amen.
