Spiritual Power

Spiritual Power:

A prudent heart--the ability to forsee evil coming and to prepare for it.

A diligent pursuit of knowledge and discretion--a mind that ponders--thoughtfully meditates--on the things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovable and gracious, of good reputation, excellent, and worthy of praise.

A sensitivity to the fact that you live each moment in the presence of God--a deep reverence for His heart--a deep desire to never grieve--to never betray--His amazing grace and love by your actions.

Being constantly on guard against acts of selfishness and pride in deed and in word--careful in action, slow to speak.

The wisdom to seek the counsel of godly men and women--a recognition of your fallibility; of the necessity to not lean on your own understanding.

The spiritual skillfulness to apply knowledge correctly--to be Spirit led.

The humility to embrace the transforming power of sorrow in your life--to rest in the strength of the incomprehensible peace and joy that suffering instills in your life.

"Thy Word have I treasured in my heart that I might not sin against Thee." Where your heart is . . . you will have the right Master.

"Thy Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path." "My sheep know My voice and follow Me."

"The unfolding of Thy Word gives light; it gives understanding to the simple." I would see all things as He sees them.

"Those who love Thy law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble." Earthquake proof. Whirlwind proof.

"The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever." Resting in the promised hope that all things work together for good--that His eternal love for you through Christ is inescapable.
