Analysis of Spiritually Wisdom



God has revealed through His Spirit,
For the Spirit sees everything;
Even the depths of God will share it,
No matter what that it will bring.

For who would know your inner thought,
Except for the spirit in him;
Comprehending as you have sought,
No matter if it is well or grim.

The spirit of the world you got,
But the Holy Spirit is God;
And His Spirit will cleanse your thought,
When confessing that you are flawed.

We might understand more freely,
If we impart this in His Word;
Bringing truth to reality,
About His wisdom, we have heard.

Not of human wisdom as taught,
But comparing spiritual truth;
That the Gentiles have not sought,
Which has made them to be uncouth.

Foolishness is received by man,
From his own earthly desires;
Neither can he know God’s own plan,
When distorted by his fires.

Spiritual men will judge all things,
Yet he is judged by no person,
Rather only the Father brings,
Judgment on man what he has done.

Who construes the mind of the Lord?
So as to instruct in His way;
The Mind of Christ not be ignored,
If we abide and do not stray.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
