DAY 19: SPIRITUAL PROGRESS?

Philippians 3:7-14, "...I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain CHRIST..."  We read of the great people whose fervent desire for GOD had placed them in HIS presence.  Their commitment, light and faith give us a yearning to have the same  inspiration and revelation to experience GOD'S presence.  This longing soon passes as we respond to the worldly duties and the demands in our lives become too insistent.  Then we become "content" with our inadequate and imperfect and our longing for CHRIST soon passes.  How can we justify our own indifference toward Spiritual Things?  The HOLY SPIRIT constantly seeks to arouse our complacency and tells us, "...to go on and seek maturity through the HOLY SPIRIT..." (Hebrews 6: 1).  PRAYER - FATHER, Thank YOU for the HOLY SPIRIT that initiates, inspires and completes our yearning for YOU through love to fulfill this "glimpse of eternity" within us.  MEDITATION - My longing and yearning for GOD will not pass and become complacent.  THOUGHT - GOD sees me with the perfection of CHRIST.  WRITE - Before I can know the GIVER, I must asked for and receive the GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  The LORD is my SHEPHERD I shall not want.
