1 | Spirit or spirit? John 6:63 | Prov 5:21 | Mommapbs | 100994 | ||
Hi! I'd like to respond to this question you asked of Ray: "When all I do reveals God by my life that all my goings and doings would be directed by Him. When that is the case will any of my goings and doings fail?" In "The Purpose Driven Life," Rick Warren observes that God is more interested in our character development than in our comfort. He uses circumstances, yes even those in which we "seem" to fail, to conform us to the image of Jesus (Romans 8:29) - yet without a spiritual understanding of what God has purposed for us, we may have a difficult time accepting or even agreeing with Romans 8:28. So, in our humanness, we struggle to see the "good" in tragedy, trials, and sorrows . . . BUT GOD - yes, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus enables us to see what He sees and gives us an eternal perspective rather than a temporal one! Blessings my brother! t |

mommapbs We indeed need a spiritual understanding to realize that everything that comes our way is used to bring us to believe God. If I "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. [7] Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. [8] It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. [9] Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: [10] So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine."Proverbs 3:5-10 [KJV] then I don't think it is failure God has in mind for us/me. We should not be trying to figure out what God is doing in our lives, but rather letting God do what He wants. I don't want to know God in my humanness rather I want to know him in my spirit man, my inner man, be a spiritual man. As I know Him this way then I can let go and let God. When I let God He gives us the eternal perspective. Your brother Jeff |
