God is Spirit, and as His dearly loved children, we are called to worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). We are no longer bound by the flesh, for the flesh counts for nothing (John 6:63). Walk in the Spirit, for now, you have the fortifying power of the Holy Spirit in you, helping you in your weaknesses (Romans 8:26). Know that your sufficiency is not from yourself but from God, for all your power and ability come from Him (2 Corinthians 3:5).
The flesh is of is nothing, so do not seek to gratify its evil desires (Galatians 5:16-17). As it is written:
"My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:2).
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" (Psalm 73:26).
God is Spirit, and as His children—those who believe in the Son He sent into the world as an atoning sacrifice for sin (1 John 4:10)—live as redeemed people, saved by grace. We are no longer under the law of sin and death but under the new covenant of grace through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2).
As it is written:
"Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children, and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God" (Ephesians 5:1-2).We are called to walk in love, for whoever loves has been born of God and knows God (1 John 4:7). Whoever claims to know God but hates his brother, whom he has seen, cannot truly know God, whom he has not seen (1 John 4:20). For God is love, and love is from God.
As God’s chosen people, a holy nation, and His special possession—rescued from darkness into His glorious light (1 Peter 2:9)—let us humble ourselves under His mighty hand, knowing that He will lift us up in due time (1 Peter 5:6).
Let us be still and wait patiently for Him to act, for soon He will be revealed to all the world, and all flesh shall see Him in the fullness of the Father’s glory, coming with the heavenly host (Matthew 24:30-31, Revelation 1:7)."
Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalm 46:10).
The Lord God of Jacob is our mighty fortress. All who repent, are like the prodigal son, who returns home to our heavenly Father whose arms are open to receive us into his everlasting presence forgiving all our transgressions and granting us the rights of his dearly loved children saved by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, He is our refuge, fortress and a redeemer in whom we put our complete trust (Luke 15:20-24).
Let us turn our hearts to Him, making peace with Him as our Lord and Savior, who rescues His people from sin (Colossians 1:13-14).
