Its the little things

Our spiritual life is far more than the sum of the spiritual information we have gathered, or of any collection of our spiritual experiences. The foundation of our spiritual life (or lack of it) is the accumulative result of the decisions and choices we have made on our spiritual journey.

The core and substance of our spirituality relates to the unity of heart and spirit gained through our making right choices and decisions. Our making these right choices and decisions is never easy.

No matter who, or where we are, we must make decisions as to what we will do, or where we will go. The ever present temptation is to compromise and go along with the questionable or difficult situations that we often find ourselves in.

Many times each day, we make “little” decisions (seemingly to us) that feed either the carnal, or the spiritual aspect of our being. The accumulation of these choices result in our becoming either carnal, or spiritual.

As our spiritual decisions begin to outweigh in some measure, the negative pulls, we become an overcomer. To the extent that we rise above carnal soulish desires, we are lifted into a place of union with our Lord, and we grow spiritually.

“To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in My Throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His Throne.” Revelation 3:21

Our position with Jesus in this “Throne” relationship is the result of our overcoming (rising above) all that is earthly and carnal. We are given this privilege of being seated with Him in His Throne (as His Bride), as a result of the accumulation of right decisions and choices (being an overcomer).

“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife has made herself ready.” Revelation 19:7

The more decisions we make that are toward the Lord, the easier it becomes to make these decisions. The further down the road we go in our walk with Him, the more detached we become from all that is carnal, or a temptation to us. In the beginning, it will be difficult, but as we progress, it will become easier.
