Two directions at once

by Bruce Wadd  

 

Ever gazed into the sky and noticed clouds moving? 

 

Maybe the reason you really noticed them was because their movement was contrasted against a backdrop of seemingly stationary higher clouds.

 

As you stared, you may have marvelled at the wonder of different types of clouds moving at different levels and speeds. How could this happen?

 

What I wanted to do today was to link the cloud movement to the worlds of flesh and spirit.

 

There are two levels at which we can live. We all begin our lives, and remain, living in the flesh. This is where you stay until you discover God, and He births you I challenge that idea.

 

Life’s true reality becomes living in the Spirit! Most people would say that what we see and experience in the flesh is real, but spiritually that is false.

 

You now sit with a choice to make – to continue to live in the Spirit, submitted to God’s authority or to live in the flesh, controlled by your own will, feelings and desires!

 

The Good News is living by His Spirit results in eternal life, living with God forever. The ‘flesh’ life ends in death.

 

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God

is eternal life through Jesus Christ our God.”

Romans 6:23

 

TODAY, you’ve got a choice to make! Look up and live… in the Spirit!
