“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death , but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
Romans 8 : 5-6 (New King James Version)
This is what the Lord showed me last night. Try and picture this with me. Its your wedding day. And none of the guests have arrived yet. Christ walks in and you give Him the first row seat. Then after a while, all your managers walk in … All important people from your work and business . So you make them sit in the front row seat and make Christ sit in the next row because you think Christ would understand. Then some other important people walk in … people who are of strong emotional bonding to you. And they sit in the next row and Christ gets pushed a seat back further. This continues for a while and by the end of it all Christ is sitting in the last row in the corner. Then the music starts. And you are so excited because its your day and you have made all the arrangements well. Everyone is fitted in so well and Christ is there too. And as the music plays and you are there at the altar , Christ walks up straight towards the altar . For a moment you are perplexed. But then your eyes are opened to see that Christ is the groom ! It was all about Him in the first place. You just didn’t realize that.
This life that we live is all about Him. We live by His grace for His glory. A lot of us seem to have forgotten that. We try to fit Christ into some portion of our lives and become contended . We forget… ITS ALL ABOUT HIM !
Has our focus , our priorities , our efforts shifted to our work , our studies , our relationships ?
We read that those who live according to the flesh set their minds on things of the flesh. What is our mind set on ?
Its time to sow to the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death , but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
God Bless
