Will The Lord Bless This?

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.

Romans 8:14 

Many Christians today, instead of being led by the Spirit of God, are living as functional atheists. Instead of fully relying on God, they are fully relying on themselves for guidance and direction in life. Many Christians today are living with fear and feel powerless over the circumstances in their life even though, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV)

In Romans 8, the Apostle Paul is teaching us the basic axiom of our life in Christ: The children of God are led by the Spirit of God. We need to focus our life on this axiom and remember the Spirit of God will always lead us is way that are entirely consistent with the Word of God. I find it helpful to remember that the Spirit wants to thoroughly ground my life in the Fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-24). The Spirit will also fill our hearts with the Love of God so that God’s love will flow out of our lives and into the lives of those around us. And we always want to rest in the assurance we are not on our journey alone; the Spirit is always praying and interceding for us. (Romans 8:26)

My Takeaway: As I seek to be led by the Spirit, I am learning to pause before speaking, or before any activity, and ask, “Will I ask God to bless these words, this activity?” And I am learning there are words I do not want to speak and activities I do not want to undertake.

My book on prayer,

First Think, Then Pray

is now available on Amazon Kindle.

 

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
