In Tune with God
As we trust in God alone, He establishes our path and provides us with the resources we need to walk in His victory. Where He leads, we follow. We keep our spirit in tune with Christ in us, and our soul (our mind, choices, and emotions) led by His Spirit (Romans 13:14).
We submit to God, resist the devil, and he must flee from us (James 4:7). Even if Satan uses pain and suffering to sidetrack us, we firmly stand on the faith of the Son of God within us, who loves us and gave Himself for us (Galatians 2:20).
We find our rest in Christ during every time of trouble. God restores or replaces everything that Satan steals from us (Job 42:10). As we abide in Him, He is our portion forever (Psalm 73:26). We learn from Him as we draw closer to Him.
Once the current, negative circumstance is over, we find our roots clinging more firmly to Him. Even during prosperity, He remains the center of our focus and the joy of our soul. We walk by faith in God’s faithfulness, and He joys over us with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).
The abundance and gentleness of His love is more real to us with each passing day. The power and the draw of the world, the flesh, and the devil decrease as we are transformed into the likeness of Christ by the Spirit of God (2 Corinthians 3:18).
Our rebellion, self-centeredness, and love for this world diminish as we abide in Him, and He abides in us (John 15:4). As we partake in His holiness, our union with Him deepens, His comfort fills our soul, and His joy is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
Prayer:
Father God, as Your Spirit removes the carnality in our flesh, You fill us instead with the fruit of Your Spirit (Galatians 5:15-25), which is the divine nature of Christ in us. We lose our self in You, and we care more for Your Kingdom and righteousness than we do for the pursuits of this world.
When we see adversity approaching, remind us to hide under the shelter of Your wings (Psalm 91:1). Your love fills our soul, and our cup runs over with Your agape love for everyone we meet (Psalm 23:5). Your love and compassion in us allow us to comfort others with the same comfort You provide for us (2 Corinthians 1:3).
Thought for the Day:
Daily we come closer to the point of finding our satisfaction totally in God, and our heart in deeper harmony with His purpose for our life; we find our comfort in Him, rather than in any person, place, or thing, because He is our all sufficiency; we bear the fruit of His Spirit to edify and nourish His Body, as well as all those in our world that He brings our way.
- 2 Corinthians 12:9
