We celebrated Easter on 31st March this year: remembrance and praise for Jesus’ sacrifical death, His glorious resurrection and His gift of new life to all who believe He is living Lord. Perhaps you accompanied your celebrations with a chocolate Easter Egg or three as well!
But of course, this focused celebration isn’t just something to enjoy for one day of the year. Nor is choosing His life isn’t a one-off decision to guarantee a place in heaven; it’s a quality of life to be enjoyed now. A Spirit-led and Spirit-infused life over a barren flesh-led existence.
If you don’t feel you’re experiencing His abundant fullness of life (also promised in John 10:10), take time to prayerfully reflect on what might be distracting you from engaging with & responding to it:
– Haste, hurry & tech dependency?
– Disillusioned by unanswered prayer?
– Sidetracked by personal dreams, a want of ‘ease’ or perceived ‘security’?
– Overwhelmed by problems that overshadow faith?
– Pursuing ‘gung-ho’ this transient life in the world as if it were going to last forever?
– … any other promptings that come to mind ???
Dwell with this invitation to choose His life: to know and receive in progressive measure His peace, wisdom, guidance, provision, enabling and much more, as you align yourself to walk in step with His word and Spirit.
He doesn’t promise a problem-free life but He does enrich it with His dynamic, creative, transforming, envisioning & equipping… LIFE.
