It's the final day of the How to Be Spiritual Track.
Spirituality is total and constant dependence, understanding the reality of the grace and kindness of God daily. Realizing that we’re all debtors.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25
Each step through the day, we need the spirit to empower us to do what we cannot do on our own. Try to position your life to be consistent with the scriptures, contrary to the flesh, driven by the community, and exalting Christ; you will always need to be empowered by Him to do so.
Our encouragement to you is not to get discouraged when you get depleted. Cling to the God of grace, walk daily with Him, and watch what He can do with a humble and submitted life.
Summary
Robert Robinson penned the hymn, Come Thou Fount. Tragically, he gave himself over to his desires later in life and became a miserable man. He didn't learn to depend on God.
Being spiritual means total dependence on God. Understanding the reality that we are debtors to the grace and kindness of God daily. We need Him to bind our hearts to Himself.
Galatians 5:25 says let us keep in step with the Spirit. Moment by moment. Every day, we need the Spirit to empower us to do what we cannot do on our own.
That's the secret. You may have optimism and good technique, but you will still arrive at moments when your internal resources are insufficient.
We can position our lives to be consistent with Scripture, contrary to the flesh, driven by community, and exalting of Christ. We can do all these things and still need to be empowered.
What's next?
Don't get discouraged when you get depleted. We are all daily debtors to God's grace that he gives as a lifeline. True spirituality is constant dependence. Grip on to Him, and step by step, He'll take you to places you'd never be able to get to on your own. Watch what He will do through His power in a humble, submitted life.
- Today, ask Him for grace over specific meetings, people, conversations you are going to have today.
