Come to these threads as you are; leave with what you have discovered.

Absolutely no flaming! These daily threads are intended to be devotional in nature. If a particular day's offering says nothing to you, please just go on and wait for the next day. Consider these threads a DMZ of sorts, a place where a perpetual truce is in effect and a place where all other arguments and disagreements from other times and places are left behind.

I can attest from personal experience that reading from Chambers daily will almost certainly change - not one's faith - but one's perspective of his/her own faith, and open up new vistas in your spiritual life. If - when - this happens to a reader of these threads, and they choose to share what has happened within them - we are treading on hallowed ground. Be respectful.

somehow this devotional this AM reminds me of the old saying: You can't prohibit a bird from flying in front of your or over your head, but you certainly CAN prohibit him from building a nest on your head!

The Holy Spirit doesn't keep the sin from daily "brushes" in our life.. It/Satan are always there.. But we can prevent the sin from having a foothold(building the nest) with the Holy Spirit help!

Have a great day all.. dusting of snow here in Cleveland.. falling gently now

The man who has been dulled by sin...The same Spirit that fed the life of Jesus Christ will feed the life of our spirit.

That's good.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. Psalm 40:2

It is only when we are garrisoned by God with the stupendous sanctity of the Holy Spirit, that spirit, soul and body are preserved in unspotted integrity, undeserving of censure in God's sight, until Jesus comes.

Thanksgiving Unto Him for 'His Power which Worketh in us Mightily!' (Col.1:29)
