Your. Internal Gift

Have you noticed that moving through life gets harder every day? I mean like physically harder? If you’re not there yet. “Keep living”, as the “old folks” use to say, about everything!

The message of that saying, I find is becoming more realized. I always saw this as some foretelling of the doom that was sure to come.

However, life’s hardships shouldn’t be seen as only hardships, but opportunities to be greater than we really are.

Today, I was studying about our inner man. That is our spirit. I notice as I mature and grow older I need to lean more on my inward man; simply because our bodies can only take but so much, for so long.

It’s a fact. Our physical body is made to deteriorate despite our best efforts.

As a believer, we know that our inward man is powered by, The Spirit of God. Therefore, as we lean on His Spirit our spirit is being renewed every day. So in the vein of hope, this is great news!

Hardships and difficulty are inevitable. We cannot avoid them. A natural man will try to power through, and then seek to understand why he cannot overcome the way he’d like.

The spiritual man sees hardships and difficult times as God’s way of trying to get his attention. And this is true, He is!
