DAY 26

Once again, my two reading worked together perfectly.  I love to see the work of my living LORD through the scriptures.  Today, HE is working on adjusting my perspective...

He must increase, but I must decrease. The One who comes from above is above all.  The one who is from the earth is earthly and speaks in earthly terms.  The One who comes from heaven is above all. {John 3: 30-31}

For those whose lives are according to the flesh think about things of the flesh, but those whose lives are according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.  For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.  {Romans 8: 5-6}

Those whose lives are in the flesh are unable to please God.  You however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you.   But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.  Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.  And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also  bring your mortal bodies to life through His Spirit who lives in you.  {Romans 8:8-11}
