Our First Focus
Each morning we wake up we have the opportunity to set our mind on something. For many, it's coffee or tea, and the paper or morning news. For others maybe it's a refocus on yesterday's troubles, or today's challenges. Maybe you have a big project at work and your mornings are consumed with the details of making it happen. It leaves us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, uncertain, and on edge.
As believers in Christ, we have received the Spirit of Christ who now dwells within us. Along with that comes the opportunity to exhibit the fruits of the Spirit. We possess them as part of the gift, but we don't instantly demonstrate them. They all take practice in order to make them an integral part of our daily life. Galatians 5:22 tells us the fruit of the Spirit is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." How many of us begin each day intent on loving better, being more joyful, being more peaceful, having more patience, being more kind, sharing more goodness, being more faithful and gentle, and exercising more self-control? How much better would our lives be if that was our first focus; if demonstrating the fruits of the Spirit was our first priority? How much could we change the world that way?
