Today’s Scripture: Galatians 6:8 NLT Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
Does the Spirit of God sometimes blow you away? Do you believe God knows your tomorrow? I was first introduced to “positive” affirmations in the late 1980’s and I learned they worked to get things that I thought would please me. Although I satisfied my sinful nature I did witness the decay and death this verse promised.
The Spirit of God impressed upon me on January 9th, 2008 that every affirmation I would ever need would be found in His Word. I began that day harvesting Affirmations of God. In the face of many who have hijacked affirmations for personal gain, this verse gives me reassurance and renewed vigor to live only to please the Spirit. For in living to please the Spirit we receive everlasting life and God’s mercy and peace. I have experienced enough of His life to want no other.
Do you live to please the Spirit? Put your seatbelt on it is a wonderful ride!
Today’s Prayer: Father God, I am humbled and blessed by Your Spirit. Thank You LORD for loving me and covering me with Your Spirit. LORD I only want to live for Your Spirit. I trust You for reaping the harvest You intend for me. LORD guard my spirit and use me to share the sowing and reaping of everlasting life. Amen
