To be sure, the greatest battles were won on Calvary and in our hearts when we were born again, but we must also fight daily battles in our life of sanctification.

An anchored soul is rooted in truth—the truth of God’s Word, not circumstances. It is stable in trials. It is at peace, even when the storms of life are raging.

Even though the soul and the spirit are inseparable, the Word of God is able to reach them individually. Soul and spirit are the non-physical parts of a being,. . .

within us our soul is crying out. There’s … something going on, a shift that’s taking place in our soul. But like the Psalmist, we have to preach to ourselves.

And there’s a quote that says, “You are not a body that has a soul, but rather, you are a soul that has a body.” Your soul is far more important than the body . . .

God responds to hunger, not history. Not your past behaviors. “I’ve been doing this for 20 years, I’ve been doing it for 30 years, this is the way I’m doing it.”

When I read this verse, I said, “God, as Your eyes go to and fro throughout the earth, let them find my heart loyal to You.”

We are to remember because remembering humbles us. It invites gratitude to God and helps us extend grace to others.

And the love spoken of here is that unconditional, unselfish, benevolent love that is willfully given and given with joy. It is a love given with nothing expected in return.

What hinders you and me from giving God our all? Could it be fear of losing control? You may think you are in control, but the truth is God is in control.
