Leviticus 25; Psalm 25-26; Acts 22

“The secret of the LORD [is] with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.” Psalm 25:14

What is the secret of the Lord, with those who fear Him? The Lord reveals His secrets to those who fear. A wonderful secret, mystery is revealed in Paul’s writings in Colossians 1:26-27, “Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Many religious systems seek a works based ascension into living a spiritual life—one devoid of fleshly desires and wants. The basic difference between Christianity and other religions of the world is that we do not have to live this spiritual journey on our own. The Spirit of God dwelling in us gives us the power to walk this journey of faith so that we do not have to do it on our own. The Spirit of God dwells in us with power so that we can continue ‘under the spigot’ as Pastor Rick shared a couple of weeks ago when teaching on about the infilling of the Holy Spirit. This is the hope of glory…Christ in you! When we come to Christ, He does not just point to the path and say, “That’s the path you should walk, now go for it.” However, it is that Jesus comes in and gives us the capacity and the power to walk the walk—this is the mystery, Christ in you, the hope of glory! Be blessed today as you allow the glory of Christ to be revealed through you wherever it is God may lead you today.

Living under the spigot…
