It is in my contract with the Lord, I am allowed as many Paw Paw and Tobey naps as Tobey will submit to. As a Pastor I must be well rested and I know that all those Paw Paw’s out there understand. This has to be one of the best blessings our God can give us. Wouldn’t it be great if getting rest was the only weakness our flesh had.
Read the Galatians scripture below.
Paul talks about living in the flesh, sowing in the flesh. He talks about living in the Spirit, sowing in the Spirit. Which do you do?
Gal 6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Gal 6:3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Gal 6:4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. Gal 6:5 For each one shall bear his own load. Gal 6:6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Gal 6:8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Gal 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Gal 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Well is it the Spirit or the flesh? Is your life led by selfishness, greed and jealousy? Just some of the sinful ways that the flesh can lead us. Think about your life and how much of it is led by the Spirit. We need to learn to deny our fleshly desires and lean toward, seek the heart of God, through the Holy Spirit, that can lead us into a richer life here now and in the hereafter.
