Creating a new life in me.
Day 3: Breathing. Discovering your purpose and defining your living space. Take the facts from the first two days; that you are living for God and you understand that there is good and evil in the world. Now you can set up parameters for living, a space that is filled with your principles and character that you can use as a guide for the day to day choices of your life. This space is edged by the living water of God above, which gives our spirits life, and the physical water of the world below, which gives our bodies life. In between is the 'air', the place that God designed for us to live and breathe. It is the area for you to live the life that God has called you to, where you can breathe in the sustaining love of God.
Genesis 1:6-8
And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning---the second day.
Action Plan: This is about getting in touch with yourself and identifying what's inside your heart... ask yourself 5 questions.
1) Why am I alive?
2) What is my purpose?
3) Who needs to know God?
4) When does God need me?
5) How does God want me to live?
6) Where can I learn to understand?
The answer to the last question is the bible. If you could not find the answers to the rest within yourself, the bible holds them all. The Word is our air, it is the guide for living in our space between the spiritual living water of Christ and body nourishing water of the world.
