Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name." Ps. 91:14
I sense that my flesh battles with my spirit every day
that I live. My flesh tells me one thing and my spirit, re-born in
Jesus, tells me another. The voices of my world preach their own peculiar gospel but God has revealed the true Gospel throughout the ages. Which voice I choose to listen to will determine what I think, how I feel, and what choices I make today.
Becoming a daughter of Almighty God introduces me to
a sharp learning curve of spiritual truths. I learn that I am totally forgiven, that God chooses to put my sin behind His back and not hold it against me any more. This is difficult to accept, for everyday. I am prone to recite all my sins, failures, and shortcomings. God chooses to forget; yet I so easily choose to review. How impossible.
I also learn that positionally, because of Jesus, God
sees me as perfect. My spirit is already seated in a place of great honor with my Father in heaven. But here on earth, I prone to feel I am only worth my contribution to society.
I am loved for my gifts. So, it's so easy for my flesh to believe the lie that my value is based on the criterion set up by the world I can see, touch, and feel.
God says through the Psalmist, "Because my child loves
me, I will set her securely on high." This is my reality today. I am honored. I am declared worthy because of Jesus. I am anointed.
No matter what I may encounter that contradicts these spiritual realities I can rehearse the truths of God that live and shape eternity.
May I see from myself from Your viewpoint, Father. Allow me to see my spirit high above the earth, seated with You, so that I may be strengthened for the battles with my flesh. Amen"
