Spirit and Flesh

Hello Beloved,


I just saw someone who was telling me about her husband and all the things he is going through.  Things like boils, cracked toes and cracked foot.  He has already lost eyesight and a leg .  She said she had talked to her granddaughter and told her " look at Grandpa , you don't want this to happen to you."  What is it that has happened?  Diabetes.
With just finding out  about my struggles with Diabetes, this was all hitting home.
What to do to take control of my struggles?  Watch your weight, your food intake, exercise. These are things that will help to control this disease.
It is like that in your spiritual life too. You need  to watch the weight, food intake and exercise.  How?   Watch what your spirit man puts into himself..  Do you watch  smut on T.V., computer  or maybe your phone?  What about the things you read?  Are you reading things like Harry Potter or other mystical and make believe books?  Or do you put good things into your mind, like reading scriptures everyday?  God's Word is a wonderful way to start the day off.  When you put all the wrong things  inside of your spirit it is like the diabetes , you become sick.. Life starts to weigh you down. Wrong thinking, wrong acting, wrong everything!   Just like when you put all the wrong things into your body and you become sick with disease.  You need to exercise your spiritual man just like the physical man... you need to learn how to walk in the Spirit just like walking in the flesh.  You are the one in control.... So, today do yourself a favor and start taking care of both the flesh and the spirit.


Remember to smile it is a free gift from God for you to share with all you meet.
God Bless your sister in Christ Jesus. vickie
