4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
It is His love for us that makes us alive to Him. He breathed His Holy Spirit into our lifeless spirits and granted us permission to fellowship with Him. That fellowship with Him is the reborn, regenerated and new life we have at conversion. However there is a responsibility to continue to nurture and develop His Spirit within us by decreasing self and allowing more of Him to access us and to move and guide our lives. Another way to put this is to operate more out of the heart than out of the head. To follow the premise given in Proverbs 3:5-6:
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
For He will give you the desires of your heart. Logic and our own experience can sometimes become the fuel of doubt.
APPLICATION
I need to focus on my God given goals and seek Him for creative solutions to achieve them.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
I read and reread this it helps me to stay focus. Thank you for the lesson.
