One Goal of Spiritual Living is to Face & Acknowledge Sacred Moments!
Every moment is Holy!
We know this yet we seldom act like it.
Spiritual living, a Gospel-Centered Life, requires we acknowledge the presence of God the Father, Christ, and the Person of the Holy Spirit in real time, now, in a few minutes, tomorrow...
Time and space are related. We are alive by God's grace and design for a very narrow window of HIS created "Time".
Our lives are lived out in the "presence" of God whether we acknowledge it or not.
The Mystery of Life surrounds us, includes us, and is not restricted to the revelation of God in nature. The sin we fight with and give into each day numbs our senses and we feed that distraction with God's gifts to us. We make idols of our jobs, our families, our sex, food, and many other good things.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Our lives are not associated with us, we are not the authors of what happens to us. We make bad judgments, we sin, we flee, and we wear fig leaves whenever possible, but God is involved in our path, he shepherds us.
“Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.” (Proverbs 19:21)
The reality of Christ extends beyond the universe we see. God is always working within each precious moment of time, providentially sustaining all of creation in which we are held in high regard.
The angelic race or creatures are in constant contact with us, observing and occasionally interceding for us. A higher dimension of ultimate reality overlaps our living.
At the end and beginning of the day if we are to truly live a Christ immersed life we must make Christ, our personal Lord, living bodily in Heaven the center. We see him everywhere because HE is everywhere, in the poor, the meek, the sick, and the depressed.
Our greatest joy can be found in focusing on our Lord in every Holy and Sacred moment of our lives.
We have no excuses.
“Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted, but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:30-31)
