God takes great delight in showering us with His excellence: His love, His Son, His Creation, His Justice, His Mercy, His Patience and His Wisdom.
How do we respond?
Do we stive to give Him our spiritual best of just the leftovers of our life?
Galatians 5 speaks of freedom. It is primarily freedom of our conscience from the guilt of sin. It is freedom to choose God’s way and to pursue Hish standards of excellence because we want to more than anything else. A great danger to true spiritual life iss the speed we live our lives. Rushing through life leaves little time to nurture our souls.
How is your soul?
- Does it feel alive and joyful or a bit barren and empty?
- Are you becoming more or less responsive to God?
- Are you becoming more or less responsive to other people?
We must ensure we don’t get so caught up in the activities of the world that we don’t prepare our souls for eternity.
