5/6 Quiet Time (1 Corinthians 2:10-16 ESV)

10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. 14 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. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

How can I put my focus on heavenly and spiritual things, rather than on worldly things? How long must I fight this fight within myself and against this world? Lord, I feel so alone. I feel I'm fighting this fight all by myself, with no one supporting me other than You whom I cannot see. There just seems to be no end - all I have is my intangible faith. The faith doesn't promise me anything other than the fact that I am Yours. I cling onto this fact because that's all I can do, and wait for the due time. How long will You keep me here, Lord? I'm an alien here.
