Help From His Spirit

Read: Micah 6:3-8

What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? —Micah 6:8

Bible in a Year:
Genesis 7-9; Matthew 3

Many of us make promises to ourselves to mark the beginning of a new year. We make pledges such as I’m going to save more, exercise more, or spend less time on the Internet. We begin the year with good intentions, but before long old habits tempt us to take up our old ways. We slip up occasionally, then more frequently, and then all the time. Finally, it’s as if our resolution never existed.

Instead of choosing our own self-improvement goals, a better approach might be to ask ourselves: “What does the Lord desire of me?” Through the prophet Micah, God has revealed that He wants us to do what is right, to be merciful, and to walk humbly with Him (Mic. 6:8). All of these things relate to soul-improvement rather than self-improvement.

Thankfully, we don’t have to rely on our own strength. The Holy Spirit has the power to help us as believers in our spiritual growth. God’s Word says, He is able to “strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being” (Eph. 3:16 niv).

So as we begin a new year, let’s resolve to be more Christlike. The Spirit will help us as we seek to walk humbly with God.

Truthful Spirit, dwell with me;
I myself would truthful be;
And with wisdom kind and clear
Let Thy life in mine appear. —Lynch

He who has the Holy Spirit as his resource has already won the victory.

It did go well. It hurts for a while but then I feel so much better because I have better range of motion. My doctor just gave me a prescription for more sessions. I’d like to be done with it in my lifetime. LOL!

[MEG33]

Looks like you flew out of Massachusetts at just the right time.
(((HUGS)))

Of course! I got out with a red and gray print before remembering that it’s Friday! Oops!

The holiday has messed me up all week. LOL!

Mom still has electricity, but there is 2’ of snow on the ground and the temp is 4 degrees.

[left that other site]

yes...it is very disorienting!

[MEG33]

I had almost no range of motion when I started PT with separated shoulders..PT hurt a lot but I regained the use of my arms..I exercised at home, too, of course. So grateful for the ones who gave me back my ability to function.!

[MEG33]

Prayers the power stays on!
