Breathe In, Breathe Out
By Brenda Gittens
This week's topic: Examine Yourself
What is the one thing we do every day without thinking about it hardly at
all? Breathe. And what's the one thing that we need to breathe with? That
one thing is air. There are so many different types of air that we are
confronted with on a daily basis. In the natural atmosphere, the air in
some
places is filled with so many pollutants, toxins, germs and odors. But on
the other hand, there are places where we can find fresh, beautiful and
clean air too.
On a spiritual level, what type of air are you breathing in? Is it the
fresh, clean, holy presence of the Lord? Are you breathing in the aroma of
His word? Or is it filled with the things that Paul mentioned to the
church
of Corinth? "For I am afraid that when I come to visit you I won't like
what
I find, and then you won't like my response. I am afraid that I will find
quarreling, jealously, outbursts of anger, selfishness, backstabbing,
gossip, conceit, and disorderly behavior."
(2 Corinthians 12:20, NLT).
When we go for a physical check-up, most of the time the doctor will tell
us
to "take a deep long breath and then let it out!" They check to see if our
breathing and everything associated with it, is operating the way it
should
be. This is also what the Holy Spirit does for us. The Holy Spirit lives
in
us so that we can demonstrate all of the fruits of the spirit and become
more like Christ, have a consistent prayer life and study of God's word,
have the power to witness to folks, be ready for any spiritual battle, and
have the power to say no to all kinds of sin.
Spiritual breathing is just like physical breathing. We need it to live
and
survive our Christian walk. We inhale and we exhale. If we inhale long,
deep
breaths of the Lord's presence, his word, his will, his way, his plan, his
promises, his love, his joy, his peace, and a long deep prayer life, we
will
breathe out all of that other stuff that's causing the air in our
spiritual
body (temple) to be dirty!
We'll exhale it! The only way that we can keep the air that we breathe
from
being polluted, is by continuing to ask the Holy Spirit to live in us, and
us living by the Spirit's power. "For though your hearts were once full of
darkness, now you are full of light from the Lord, and your behavior
should
show it! For this light within you produces only what is good and right
and
true." (Ephesians 5:8-9, NLT)
Breathe in, breathe out. In the natural, we do it because that's how God
made us. In the spiritual, we have to do the same for survival and growth.
One thing to remember is that spiritual breathing is voluntary; it's your
choice and all it is, is the process of inhaling what's pure and clean and
exhaling what's not pure and clean.
Scripture Of The Day: "For though your hearts were once full of darkness,
now you are full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it!
For this light within you produces only what is good and right and
true." -
Ephesians 5:8-9 (NLT)
