COT: The spirit of God is indwelling within us. It is as if God’s pure spirit drifts into our pores. Wrap you mind around that concept, of the spirit of God being within you. When I think upon it, it certainly leads me to desire to be a High Impact Man. Sometimes I feel so far away from the Spirit of God. I feel sluggish, like one feels when they wake up first thing in the morning. I might drink a fine cup of coffee and when I do, I can feel my brain cells start waking up. It’s like ping, ooh that felt good, that braincell just came alive, ping, things are getting a little clearer, ping, yeah, I am starting to get the picture. If I picture the Spirit of God within me, it’s like that good coffee waking me up. Ping, yeah, I can help my fellow man, ping, I’m going to put a smile on my face today, ping, I’m gonna tell my wife how much I love her, ping, I’m going to help that older man get up the curb, ping, I’m going to get involved in a service project, ping, I’m going to make someone’s day brighter today.
My message: wrap your mind around the Spirit of God working within you. Try to picture it and see what it does for you. Picture God’s holiness, purity and strength within you. You might just feel God sinking into your pores and waking up your brain cells. And when that happens, it’s a mighty good thing.
