Not the greatest blogger...

Ok, I have to admit, I'm not the greatest blogger. As if you all didn't already know that from my lack of posts...even after I said I was going to try really hard to keep it up to date and maintained (Just a few posts ago).

Well, very sorry. So this time I will not make any promises of the sort, I will just say that when I have the opportunity and have something to post about, Iwill post something.

Actually, this failure to fulfill something I said I would do goes well with what we have been studying on Wednesday nights. We often make promises in our Christian life and try real hard to do something for God. And often we fail and don't understand why. And then we try real hard again, and we fail. And it is not that we do not have good intentions, it is that we are looking to the wrong source to be successful. We are trying through self rather than relying on all that God has given us. We have God by way of the Holy Spirit living in us. And we are to rely on or yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit that the life of Christ may be produced through our life. And yet many times we (I) still depend on ourselves. We must continue to learn and have the attitude of "Not I, but Christ".

Thankfully, God often uses our failure to teach us and show us practically that we cannot do it and that we must rely on the power of the Holy Spirit in us to produce the life of Christ through us. Praise the Lord that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 1:3)
