An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
September 14
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYAnd I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. (Ezekiel 36:27)
To live a Christian life without the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit is impossible. We walk among the wicked of the world, live in our fleshly bodies, and are subject to the temptations of Satan who devours as a roaring lion. Let's face it - we have a lot going against us! Do not be discouraged though! God, who is stronger than Satan, has designed a plan whereby He lives in us through the Holy Spirit, defeating Satan. His indwelling gives us peace and strengthens us in our battle against Satan, the world and the flesh. As the world from without tries to shape us in its mold, the Holy Spirit works on us from within to make us into the image of our Lord. Paul declared that he could do all things through Christ which strengthened him. Through Christ, you can be a winner today! ~~~
