Prior to our salvation, we had
a body and soul, but our spirit was dead in sin. As a Born Again Believer our
spirit is now alive and contains the Spirit of God. We can enjoy constant quiet
time within our spirit, regardless of what is occurring in our body or soul.
With this regular fellowship, our soul abides in a state of peace, which causes
our body to remain in better health and vitality.
This does not happen before we
are Born Again. In God’s presence, we refresh our soul. Even if He remains
silent, we enjoy the companionable silence of His friendship and lordship in
our life. Regardless of our circumstances, we live in serenity in our spirit.
As we focus on our connection with Christ in our spirit, He heals the negative
feelings of our body and soul.
We look at life from a
spiritual rather than an earthly viewpoint. We love Christ immensely; our soul
draws nourishment from His existence in our life. His Word comes alive in our
mind, His presence comforts our fears and His love pours over us like a
waterfall as we keep our mind focused on Him (Isaiah 26:3). We do not need to see Him with our eyes, because we hear
him with our inner ear (Matthew
11:14).
We feel His Spirit within us (Colossians
1:27). We float through life as the Spirit of God stirs the
waters. We flow with the ebb and current of God’s will. People see God’s
life-changing power within us. So many turn a deaf ear or blind eye, preferring
to believe Satan’s lies. Others want our same experience, so we travail in
birth pains with them. We desire to win people to Christ, so they can live in
the love of God with us.
Prayer:
Father God, You are the author
and finisher of our salvation. Jesus made this possible by His sacrifice on Calvary ’s cross, and Your Spirit drew us to Your precious
heart. Thank You for loving us, caring for us and helping us in our doubts and
fears. We look to You to provide our daily bread and to lead us away from every
temptation, which might bring dishonor to Your name.
Thought for the Day:
Taste and see that the Lord is
good. – Psalm 34:9
