Who
Can Argue with These Qualities?

goodness,
peace, and joy have their source in God's nature and are made real in us
through the work of the Holy Spirit - as we invite the Holy Spirit to reign
over our inner being, our character is transformed to be more and more like
Jesus

“For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat
or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy
Spirit. If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others
will approve of you, too.” — Romans 14:17-18
NLT
Who
can argue with goodness, peace, and joy?
Yes,
a passion to possess these godly qualities is necessary, but the source of
these qualities is the Holy Spirit alive in us.
Goodness,
peace, and joy have their source in God's nature and are made real in us
through the work of the Holy Spirit.
As
we invite the Holy Spirit to reign over our inner being, our character is
transformed to be more and more like Jesus (2 Corinthians
3:17-18).
So
let's yearn for the Holy Spirit to transform us to be ever more like Christ and
trust that the Spirit's influence will be displayed in our lives through
goodness, peace, and joy.
Today's
Prayer
Father, don't let me be distracted by, or addicted to,
food or drink. I want to be sustained and fed spiritually and emotionally by
the presence of your Holy Spirit within me.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
Amen.
