Keeping A Muddle-Headed Spirit At Bay

We all have moments where we have been muddleheaded. And usually, when we are still in the midst of it, we do not realise it till after it has happened, and we get regretful about it. Let us look into the story of Esau and let it remind us to guard our hearts and minds so that we do not remain in a muddle-headed spirit, but live a life that wants to know God deeper and submit to God’s wisdom day by day.

Take Off The Coat Of Accusation

The feeling of accusation is not a stranger to us. At some point, when we make a mistake, hurt someone, fall into some sins or see no progress in our plans, we may feel accused within us, from others or from God. We may feel lack, judged, becoming a disappointment to others or just lousy altogether. However, let us not remain in accusations but keep moving forward with the promises and hope from Christ.

Do Not Become An Easy Prey

Satan is tirelessly seeking out those who are facing problems, struggling with weaknesses and those who are hurt. He will cause us to falter in our faith, falling into deeper sins and pain while we may still be unaware of its foothold on us. However, God has already prepared the full armour for us to be ready for our spiritual battles. He wants us to inject His undefeated truth into our hearts so that we may be able to expose the hidden works and lies of Satan that is working within us.

Trials Are God’s Tools

No one likes to go through trials and problems in life but even children of God cannot escape the reality of experiencing it. However, the trials between believers of God and the people of the world are different. In fact, when God allows us to meet with some issues, whether it is in your family, career, studies, relationship, finances or more, God’s reason for it is not in the problem itself, but the spiritual meaning that follows after.

Reviving The Inert Spirit

An inert or stagnant spirit is prevalent among believers, especially when life around us is moving so fast, our roles require us to be of certain standards with expectations from all corners. It seems like we almost have no time to quiet ourselves down, to restore our communication channel with God. But God is also our only life line to battle and deal with these stagnancy and numbness that is weighing us down. Therefore, may we realise our current spiritual states and actively seek breakthroughs with the help of God’s grace and guidance.
