I Will Not be Silent
Wow...been a while since i've actually posted myself. Anyways... I am starting to take a new kind of call at work so I am going through training and I have had this girl sitting with me lately helping me out. She has been such an inspiration she talks to me about church and God and how much she thanks God for her job and her children and how she teaches them to pray. She didnt know I was a Christian at first and that didnt even phase her. Its amazing to me how we get so caught up in our daily routine that we weasel Jesus out of it.
I strive so hard to be a good Christ Follower but a lot of times I am just lazy and would rather do something else. And I guess it all boils down to this; the Spirit is Eternal while the flesh knows it is only a blink as to how long the spirit will last. So the flesh clings to everything and anything it can to give it some type of enjoyment. that enjoyment for me comes from spending time with my wife, reading a good fiction book, playng my guitar, and spending time on my computer.
So shouldn't spending time in Gods word and worshiping him give me just as much satisfaction? Well I thought about it in relation to how the flesh is so different from the spirit and came up with the following conclusion. The flesh is easily gratified by whatever you feel like doing. Where the spirit is only enriched or satisfied by spiritual interaction and spiritual discipline. And the only way to keep them from conflicting with each other is to separate the two...
Which leaves me with trying to figure out how, which may come in the next post which hopefully wont take as long to come.
