Christ
in us gives us the power to understand the root of the issues in our life, as
well as the wisdom of His Word and the instruction of His Spirit to change
them. We bask in the width, length, depth and heights of His love for us (Romans
8:35-39).
Although
it is hard for us to fathom how He can love us so completely and deeply in the
minutest details of our life, even when we fail Him, we continually experience
the love of Christ. He loves us, even when we still have a tendency to sin (Romans
5:8).
God
fills our spirit and soul to the brim with His life, wisdom and power. As we
obey the promptings of His Spirit's instruction, we can dwell in this inner
sanctum within His divine presence in us all through the day and night (Isaiah
30:21).
Would
you like to have this new life? As a Born Again Believer, we have the Holy
Spirit present in us to fill us with all the fullness of God. His presence
gives us many advantages, and is the key to walking in Serenity moment by
moment throughout the day.
We
fall to our knees and pray to our Father God, the Creator of everything in
Heaven and on earth. We pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources that
He will empower us with inner strength through His Spirit.
Then
we pray without ceasing as we go about our daily duties by the direction of His
Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:17). As we navigate through God's plan for our day, this
allows Jesus Christ to make His home in our heart as we totally trust in Him.
We
empty our self of the inner chaos caused by our overly committed lives. We can even
journal our cluttered thoughts and feelings, until we are totally void of our
cares and anxiety, and are totally filled with all the fullness of God
(Ephesians 3:14).
Then,
we clear our cluttered schedule and do only that which God directs. We will no
longer feel the need to worry and stress over the issues in this world, because
we are not really part of it any more. We are hidden with Christ in God, both
now and for all of eternity (Colossians 3:3).
Prayer:
Father
God, Your mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and we can
learn to access them through Your presence within us. When our mind is quick to
fill with worry and clutter with each new sunrise, help us to trust in You
today and always.
Thank
You for helping us not to allow the pressures and distractions of this world to
monopolize our attention. We no longer want to run full speed ahead all day
long, and then fall into bed at night too exhausted to spend time with You or
in reading Your Word. We love You and praise You with every fiber of our being.
Thought
for the Day:
At
times the cacophony of life prevents us from hearing the voice of our beloved,
Jesus Christ; but God wants to fill us through all of our being with all of His
fullness, so that we can experience for our self the richest measure of His
presence and become a body wholly filled with God Himself.
