Grace for your spirit August 13, 2009

Grace for your spirit

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. Galatians 5:19-21

God knows the deeds that come from our sinful nature, and so does the devil. The difference is that God warns us to avoid them and enter His kingdom, and the devil sings us a tune encouraging us to continue in them. It is easy for the devil’s tune to take hold of our lives, because he appeals to our flesh. We know what God wants us to do, but we just keep hearing that sweet tune of the devil. Years ago there was a song like that called. “The Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu.” The man knew he was supposed to doing something, but the rhythm got a hold on him. Don’t let the devil’s tune and rhythm get a hold on us. Shake loose.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
