Spirit Sunday! How is spirit defined: The vital principle or animating force within living beings. The essential nature of a person or group. A person as characterized by a stated quality. One's spirit plays a vital role in the way one goes about how they live their lives. The spirit of a man/woman is what ultimately substains them in times of comfort or chaos. However, if the spirit of a man is not properly developed it won't sustain him in times of comfort or choas. That's why we learn in the Word of Yahweh (God) that he and he alone is our Help...help in that He sustains us if we put our total trust in Him and submit to do His will our spirit-man will be at peace and exude joy at all times. Jesus was described as having a perfect peace (Is 26:3-4 NIV) because his mind was steadfast on the Father. Our souls will only find perfect peace in Him who is peace, we must continue to trust in the Lord throughout all of our days on this planet because He truly is our only salvation!
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. -Martin Luther King Jr., Strength to Love, 1963
If you keep in tune with Christ, you can sing even in the dark. -RBC Ministries
Scriptural Footnotes:
Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved (Ps 62:1-2 NKJV).
Do NOT put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom THERE IS NO HELP...Happy is he who has the GOD of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his GOD." (Ps. 146:3-5 NKJV).
Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help. (Holy Qu'ran 1:5)
