God Is In Control!
"Do you not know that your body is the
temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
whom you have
from God, and you are
not your own?"
1 Corinthians 6: 19
Major Ian Thomas, a British expositor, described a
foolish man who was trying to push his car when it
was filled with gasoline and capable of running on
its own.
That’s how many people try to live the Christian
life, in their own strength and by their own efforts.
But only Christ can live a life of godliness. He wants
to do it through us by the power of the indwelling
Holy Spirit.
As we walk in the Spirit, we become
more and more like Jesus
because
He's controlling more and more of us.
This perspective adjusts the way we take difficulty.
Devil seeks to harm us, however God uses every
peril and problem to develop a more disciplined,
Christlike, Christ-filled, Christ-empowered life.
What a blessing to have a Heavenly Father
who desires us to be more like Him! As we
walk with Him, let’s thank Him for the daily
work of the Spirit in our life.
"The Christian life is nothing less
than the life which He lived then
lived now by Him in you!"
