Psalm 63 vs 2-4 (The Message) So here I am in the place of worship, my eyes are wide open and I am drinking in your strength and glory. In Your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praise like fountains. I bless You every time I take a breath. My arms wave like banners of Praise to You.
We are all made of 3 parts, body, soul (our emotions, our will, our intellect) and spirit.
We feed our body often, some of us look after our bodies more than others, by feeding it with good food & exercise.
We feed our soul often, by reading a great book, watching a great movie, having great conversations with good people.
But what about our spirit? If we don’t feed it regularly, it won’t be a fountain of life, because there will be no life in there to ‘fountain’ out.
When I pray I feed my spirit.
When I read God’s word I feed my spirit.
When I worship, I feed my spirit.
When I am in an environment of faith, I feed my spirit.
As Christians we should not just go through life relying on our giftings, everyone has a gift, even people who are against God. No, we should rely on what is in our spirit. And if it’s not there, it won’t come out.
My husband always says that what you learn in the light, you can practise in the dark. Which means that as you continually feed your spirit with great things; when you hit a ‘dark’ time in your life, you can call on that to help you through.
The enemy of our souls wants to keep our well of life, our fountain, ‘damned’ up with worry & depression & fear & sin.
Keep that fountain fed and you’ll keep that fountain flowing.
Reach down into your belly and tell it to praise.
Be a life-giver to everyone you meet. Let life flow out of you every day. Even in the dark times.
