Where is Life?

We can know so much, we can believe in our heads without it reaching our hearts. Knowledge kills, but the Spirit gives life. {See 2 Corinthians 3:6} We need to be more earnest to have more of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He will not control us, but He gives us the desire to will and to do His will.

“for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” »Philippians 2:13


Delight yourself in Him. How can we delight ourselves in Him? We need to have renewed minds, His perspectives on this life and faith to know His Ways are truly higher. They are truly perfect. In the moment we find ourselves sinking, will we call upon Him, who loves us more than we could every understand? He’s there waiting for us to reach out to Him. He’s waiting for us to become empty so He can fill us. Until then, He may allow temptations and trials of various kinds until we come to the end of ourselves.
He doesn’t force us, yet lovingly He is watching and waiting. His lovingkindness is better than life! {See Jeremiah 31:3}

“Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” »Jeremiah 33:3


His Promises are great, we can know Him in deeper ways. As we go through the trials and tests, He is testing our faith. How much do we really love Him? How much do we really want to seek to please Him alone? What will we choose?
