365 Days of Spirit-Filled Fruits Challenge-Day 257


As children of God, we have been given the Holy Spirit to reside within us. We have the power to make wise choices and overcome all the temptations of this world. If you are not daily feeding your soul with God’s Living Word or praying to the Lord thankfully for all your needs; it is like a light with a faulty switch and a light bulb almost burned out. It will flicker on and off and can eventually if not fixed or the light bulb changed take you into darkness. We have to turn to the light switch (Holy Spirit) daily and turn on the switch through prayer. Those faulty connections and burning out light bulbs (sins and temperament weaknesses) can’t be fixed on their own. It takes you to get in the Word of God and study, learn and grow in your knowledge about Jesus. We won’t get the perfect light staying on without flickers this side of heaven because we are not perfect but we are in the process of being perfected. It takes effort like getting up in the morning but with your effort and commitment comes growth and rewards. You may not see the growth or rewards immediately like when you are trying to lose weight. It is a process that will give you that growth and those rewards over time. Start today and become a light repairman and work on making the connection to the light.  

2Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
