Oops! Day before yesterday I blogged about "Spiritual Crabs" for the second time. Seems I have my notes in two different places and repeated myself without realizing it. But then, I bet you didn't catch it, either! So we're even!
How would you describe a doughnut? Somewhere I read that a doughnut is a zero, a nothing, with a rim around the edge! Like a hole with a fence surrounding it. Reminds me of what Paul said in I Cor. 4:4: "I know nothing by myself." Sorta like us, huh?
You know, before we became Christians, we were like that doughnut. We were a "nothing." And even now that we do belong to Christ, Satan likes to make us feel that we are still a "nothing." That's not so. Don't listen to his lies.
In John 15:5 Jesus said, "Without me ye can do nothing." If we're His children, we have His power and His ability. Don't freak out on me because I said we have Christ's ability. After all, that's what power means -- ability! When we gave our hearts and lives to Jesus, He put His loving arms around us and gave us His power. No longer are we a "nothing!"
Now we can say with Paul, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13).
Don't be a spiritual doughnut. Let Christ surround your life today and every day.
