A Balanced Inner Life

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. ” James 1:5 Many people believe that to live a truly spiritual life, you need to live in seclusion; where the realities of life are either ignored or forgotten. However, the lessons Jesus taught along the dusty roads of Palestine were very spiritual, yet essentially practical. For Him, everything-every thought and deed – was an expression of His relationship with His heavenly Father. Therefore, true Christians do not divide their lives into compartments, because all...

A Growing Spirit

” Your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.” 2 Thessalonians 1:3 If you are not enjoying your spiritual experience, you have probably allowed stagnation to rob you of your spiritual zest. A vibrant and powerful spiritual life requires constant attention. There will never be a point when nothing more is required from you. The longer you walk with the Lord, the greater your enthusiasm should be, and any tendency to grow slack should be resisted with all your might. Your quiet time sustain and nurture your spiritual...

Reach for Spiritual Maturity

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. (1Corinthians 13:11) Some people’s spiritual journey can be compared to a rocking horse: there is a lot of movement, but little progress. They never achieve spiritual maturity because they allow grudges to poison them with bitterness. Allowing a grudge to fester could harm your spirit and hinder your spiritual development. Today you have an opportunity to grow by God’s grace, to put the negative behind you, and to reach for...

Together With God

“I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 The Holy Spirit of God, who fills God’s entire Creation, can also live in your heart. Accepting this truth releases the power of God in your life. When you think of yourself as a part of God’s revelation of Himself, you enter into an intimacy with Him that will bring strength, balance and vitality to your life. When you realize that God created you, and that you are governed by His Spirit, you can also realize that your life should live up to His expectations. You no longer...

Prepare Yourself for Life through Prayer

Pray without ceasing 1 Thessalonians 5:17 The future is unknown but you can prepare for it by developing a healthy prayer life. This will provide you with strength in moments of weakness, and comfort in times of sorrow. Many people will tell you that praying is a natural instinct. This may be true, but an effective prayer life is the result of disciplined and sensitive attitude before God. Share your joy with God in prayer while the sun shines and there will be no anxiety when the storm comes. You will merely share in the quiet conviction that God is...
