Galatians 2:20 says it all about the Christian walk. The bottom line is that our walk involves dying to the old man. We have been resurrected in Christ, and now can experience His life and power.
This subject was addressed in a devotional my husband and I listened to this morning. The host was emphasizing the fact that we should be focusing on God the first thing in the morning. It is so easy for us as humans to believe that the only way for us to succeed is for us to go full steam ahead, not considering what the Spirit has to reveal. We end up falling down relying on our human pride, Proverbs 16:18.
Solomon, the author of much of Proverbs, was asked by the Lord what he wanted in 2 Chronicles 1:7-14. Solomon proceeded to thank God for allowing him the privilege of ruling the people. His desire was to have knowledge and wisdom in his reign. Since David's son wasn't mentioning wealth or honor, God granted him these things along with the knowledge and wisdom. Later on, since Solomon lost focus of who gave him the recognition and wealth, that was how his life got messed up.
Proverbs 3:6 states that in everything we do we need to acknowledge His presence. When that is done, we will experience the Spirit's anointing and strength. What the Lord planned, it is going to come about. Isaiah 55:11 talks about the Word of the Lord always coming true. Lord, may we see you in our lives this week!
