THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL WIN OUT
So much going ON
In our world=
The Corona virus=
Racial UNREST=
And POLITICAL DIVISIONS
At every turn
But I BELIEVE that despite everything
That in the end=
The SPIRIT OF GOD
WILL WIN OUT=
The SPIRIT of love
“For I resolved
To know nothing
While I was with you
EXCEPT Jesus Christ........” 1 Corinthians 2:2
We live in a society
OBSESSED with greatness
And fame
We love to gossip
About CELEBRITIES=and we
Celebrate anyone
Who seems to STAND OUT=
Just a little bit remarkable
Whether we intend to
Or not=WE JUDGE PEOPLE
Based on their net worth=
How SUCCESSFUL they are
And what they look like
But Jesus and Paul
Teach us ANOTHER WAY=
They teach us
THE WAY OF LOVE
They SHARE the good news
With the poor
And the suffering
They teach us that
THE SPIRIT OF GOD WINS OUT!
“I press on toward
Toward the goal
To WIN the prize
For which God has called me
Heavenward in Christ Jesus” Philippians 3:14
“........so that your daily life
MAY WIN
The respect of outsiders
And so that you will
NOT be dependent on anybody” 1 Thessalonians 4:12
To do GOD'S WORK
We don't have
To know much=
We need not
Be extraordinary
IF we are living
By the COMMANDS of God=
Probably few people
Will notice us
We need NOT convince
Anyone of anything
But I thoroughly BELIEVE
If we are CONSISTENT
In living God's word
The SPIRIT of God
WILL WIN OUT=
The Spirit of God
Will win IN OUR LIVES
Our “YES” to God
Is important in
The whole SCHEME of things
More important than anything else
In our lives
“Create in me
A pure heart=O God
And renew a steadfast SPIRIT
Within me” Psalm 51:10
“Since we live
By the SPIRIT
Let us keep in step
With the SPIRIT” Galatians 5:25
The world may NEVER NOTICE US=
But it will notice
The SPIRIT OF GOD in us
And the SPIRIT OF GOD
WILL WIN OUT IN THE END
In the name of Jesus=and our ever LOVING FATHER
