Mighty in Spirit
Most of us want to be healthy in mind, body, and spirit. To become physically fit, we need to exercise and eat well. If our goal is a strong mind, then we must apply ourselves to acquiring knowledge and self-control. However, to become mighty in spirit requires something more than human effort. That’s because none of us was born with a spiritual connection to God. Because of Adam and Eve’s transgression, we were all dead in our sins and separated from the Lord. (Eph. 2:1) Once we are born again, the indwelling Holy Spirit teaches us how to view life as Jesus does, embrace the Lord’s values and priorities, and follow His example. The more we yield to the Spirit’s instruction, the sooner we’ll be transformed into Christ’s image, equipped to carry out His will, and strengthened in our inner spirit to serve Him.
