Have you ever sat in the sun, soaking up the balmy rays and
receiving the vitamins, nutrients and minerals, which God provides for us
through this giant orb of fire? We feel the heat warming us through our skin.
This same sun penetrates through the ocean too, for miles below the surface,
giving the plants the light they need to grow.
Jesus is the Son of God and He provides for us spiritually
just as the sun functions physically. He dwells within us, penetrates every
area of our life and gives us the nutrients we need to live spiritually healthy
lives in this morally deficient environment. If we, by faith, are willing to
trust in Him with our whole heart as He directs our steps, He responds through
us in each situation, which we face (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Everything in life requires faith. Even something as simple
as subconsciously sitting down in a chair, requires that we have the faith that
it will hold us up. Therefore, it is easy to put that same faith in God, who
does all things wondrously in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The proof that God lives in our life is the activity of His
Holy Spirit in our body, soul and spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
We experience His presence in our life each moment of the
day, as we converse with Him about His love and guidance for us. People see
Christ in us through His love in our eyes and our Godly actions toward them (Matthew
5:16; Colossians 1:27). God places His fruit in our soul and we live in
contentment with all that He provides for us each day (Galatians
5:22-23; Matthew 6:11-13; Philippians 4:11-13).
Prayer:
Father God, thank You for delivering us from Satan's
objectives for us, as well as from our bondage to this world. We are so blessed
to live as Your slaves instead. Thank You that sin and death have no more
control over us, since Jesus overcame them for us by His resurrection (Romans
6:9; 2 Timothy 1:10). This is how we are able to live fruitful and
fulfilled lives for Your honor and glory (Romans 6:22). Keep us
as the apple of Your eye and lead us by Your Spirit to do the works You created
us to do (Zechariah 2:8; Ephesians 2:10).
Thought for the Day:
We know that God is alive, because we live, move and have
our being in Him. - Acts 17:28
