Diary of a Single Christian Female 2/22/11

Well this week has been hard. I want a job so I will be looking harder.I have been blessed to feel the presence of the Lord keenly. The bible has one main premiss JESUS. He is the man-God to be worshipped and treasured. Our lives have to be about Him. I hope that is what my life says but I am sure one or two things can be said 1) She really holds marriage in high esteem or 2) Jesus is the most important thing to her. I would rather it be Jesus but sometimes I am afraid I may give the impression that marriage is most important to me. Die to self and live for Christ, going down in a blaze of glory is quick but to repent and trust upon God daily it will have so much fruit when one opens their eyes to the true reality.

Romans 8:5-15

For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh-- for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"
