Reflections July 2016

"In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus."
In God's will today?

Pray without ceasing is a command--not a suggestion.
The torn veil reminds us that through our Savior's sacrifice we have been given access by grace into the presence of the Father--for eternity. We have been justified. Our sins taken away and replaced with Christ's righteousness. But sometimes we--I--forget that the torn veil also means that I have access to the throne of God right now and every "right now" of every day. Prayer. Do you spend each day in the throne room? He expects you to.

 Grace that is greater than all my sins. Live a life of confident forgiveness. Obey and confess and walk in the light. You are forgiven.

 Energizing, conquering faith does one thing well: Waits.

 No one is being daily filled with the Spirit. living a life of submission to the Spirit, walking in the Spirit, under the Spirit's control who is not daily being enriched by the Word. "Let the Word of God dwell in you richly." The alternative is spiritual poverty--a loss of intimacy in your relationship with Him. Drawing near to Him demands a well-worn Bible.
