” Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.” Romans 8:5
When you plug your phone in for charging you are careful to plug into a healthy source of electricity in order to get a healthy charge. If you don’t plug into an outlet that is healthy and strong then you will not get the result you want. The same can be said for our spiritual charge each day. We must continue to renew our spirit and keep it charged with a healthy charge. We must be sure that we plug into the right source and not the wrong one. If we get up in the mornings, eat our breakfast, watch a little news and weather on the TV, and then walk out the door and begin our day, then we have done nothing to recharge our spiritual battery. We are walking into a world that is full of confusion, evil and anger. We are leaving ourselves unprotected in a world of doubt, worry, fear and condemnation. The most important thing we can do each morning is to recharge our spiritual battery. We should go to our Lord God in prayer and turn over our day to God. We should pray for the fruit of the Spirit to be displayed in our lives. We should walk into the world with a renewed joy, love and peace. We should recharge our minds with study of his word and worship him, giving him all the glory He deserves. When we act upon these things our Lord will give us renewed strength and power from his word. He will remind us of his strength and willingness to walk beside us in any situation we may encounter. He will tap us on the shoulder and remind us to listen to his precious Holy Spirit when times get tough and to praise him in the good times. He refreshes us body, mind and soul. We must, however, do our part and plug into the correct source each day. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
