Focusing on Spiritual Things

admin — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 23:13:10 +0000

Every day we have a choice to either focus on sinful things or to follow after the things of the spirit. What will you be focusing on today?

Romans 8:5
“Those who live according to their sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.”

In this time we live in, it’s possible to be totally surrounded by the things of God throughout our day. We have thousands of Christian radio stations to listen to, many different translations of the Bible to read and a book on every subject that you can think of about spiritual things. We have at our disposal more than enough to help us keep our mind set on Godly things.

Yet, even with all of these great tools to help us, it all boils down to the choices that we make. We can either choose to walk in the flesh or choose to stay focused on God.

I like to find a quiet, solitary place and spend time in prayer there. This always helps me to get focused on spiritual things.

Expressions of God’s Love Toward Us

There’s really only one thing that can separate us from God and that is sin. The separation is always temporary if God’s seed remains in you. If you’re born again, then the following verses are amazing expressions of God’s love towards you.

John 10:27
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”
1 John 3:9
No one who is born of God will continue to sin because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning because he has been born of God.

There are thousands of expressions in the Bible that demonstrate how much Jesus and God love us. One scripture declares that nothing can separate us from his love and another teaches us that God is working all things for the good in our lives if we love him.

Today, just know that God is not mad at you. He loves you, is on your side and is working all things for your good.

Guard Your Heart

Guard your heart

Prov 23: 20-23
My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flows the springs of life.

Devotion

We must maintain good spiritual health. When our heart is in distress, and we are up set, we must do all that we know to do to guard our heart. For God has deposited spiritual truths in our hearts for the purpose of sharing with others. Yes through you God can bring an encouraging word to someone. Start with prayer this gives God the right to help us. The bible says let not your heart be troubled but put your trust in God. Focus on Jesus rather than the troubling situation, as best as we can, this helps guard our heart. He has said He will never leave or forsake us. Communication comes next because wisdom, at times, is found in the council of others. It is good to reason things out sometimes, being careful to not gossip or criticize. Keep a guard on your heart today and protect the call God has placed on your life.
