1. The Spirit of God needs to strengthen our inner man, as it is headed up by Him. We who believe in Jesus, know that the Spirit dwells in us. (Eph 3:16; John 1:12; Rom 8:9-11).
2. We need to place our soul under the command of the Spirit of God, that is, make Christ dwell in our hearts. As we allow ourselves to be built up with other members of the Body of Christ, we will understand His dimensions and will be filled with all the fullness of God (Eph 3:17-19).
3. The essence of humanity is to chase the wine of this world. We can’t continue like this. The solution is to fill ourselves with the Spirit: speaking among ourselves with psalms, chanting and praising the Lord from the heart with hymns and spiritual songs, that is, working in the word (Eph 5:18-19; Col 3:16).
4. Let us not use caring for our family as an excuse for not serving the Lord. Service to the Lord remains our priority (John 2:11-12). (Daily Food, Book 4, Week 1, Tuesday, page 10).
