Weekly Devotion - August 1, 2010

Once I Was Blind...

Now I See!

For the Christian, there is nothing more pressing than seeing reality God's way. Seeing life God's way is not an option that we consider for our own benefit; but to the glory of God, even if we don't understand immediately.

A growing believer understands the importance of a biblical perception of God's will. They find themselves disciplined enough to strip themselves of all that their imagination avails them. We yield to the essential discipline of the Christian life of saying YES to the influence of the Holy Spirit. The alternative is very unfortunate. 
It is not unusual for Christians to habitate in darkness (a self-willed motive)...  Yet, a Believer yielded to the Holy Spirit cares only to glorify God.  Seeing reality God's way takes a tremendous amount of discipline. It is the sense of worth that we gain from doing so that compels us to a habit of obedience irregardless of what we see or don't see with our naked eye. We perceive that there is one reality that changes not:  The Word of God.

Last Week's Devotion...

Yielded To The Holy Spirit

The ultimate evidence that one is yielded to the Holy Spirit is a persistent exercise of being honest and pure in motive and method (1 Peter 1:22).  No Christian can be pure and honest by simply submitting to regulations.  It requires transformation (Romans 12: 1,2).  God does not change our human nature at salvation... He changed our heredity... thus, making the work of sanctification by the Holy Spirit a reality.

Our advantage as Christians in this world that is deliberately hostile to Christ is not in doing a great work for God...  it is God working in us (Ephesians 3:20).  When we are yielded to the Holy Ghost,  honesty and purity will triumph over the inclination for self-vindication and preservation and demonstrate the very life and likeness of Jesus Christ.

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
