There’s a spiritual principle that governs all of life. What we feed grows while what we starve withers and dies. Feed the lusts of your flesh—i.e., selfishness, pride, self-will, materialism, anger, and sensuality—and your sinful nature will become a powerful giant running roughshod over you. Deny the lusts of your flesh and the old man of sin will become more and more emaciated. Feed the new man by walking in the Spirit—hide the Word in your heart, meditate on it, pray always, serve others, worship passionately—and the spiritual part of you will be strengthened and built up.
“Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith.”
— Colossians 2:6-7 (NIV)
Lord strengthen us by the Spirit and the Word. Amen.
