Walking in the SpiritSample

Called to Separate

And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.

Genesis 1:9

There will be times that you will need to walk away, to let things and even people go. In order for God’s plans to prevail, it often means taking something and separating it from something else. Water had to be separated so there would be dry ground to bring about life. There will be times in your life when the ways of the world get in the way of your walk of faith—it will be hard to hear My voice, it will be difficult to have faith, and all hope will seem gone.

God’s Word, the promises, are your foundation of faith that will keep you from being shaken, and it is the Word that separates good from bad, right from wrong, and holy from unholy. When you seek My truth, it will sink into your soul and My Spirit will transform your troubles into triumphs with the promise that I have overcome the world. When you receive Christ, you’re set apart, and I will come to live in you, building your faith and strengthening you to fight the fight of faith. And as your faith grows, it is your spirit that will overflow with thankfulness, as you realize you are Mine, and nothing in all creation can separate you from Me.

Called to Truth

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Colossians 2:6-7
