Tasting Heaven's Power

I have had a good dose of Spurgeon in the past 4-5 weeks; not as much as I’d like, but it has been quite a mouthful; on second thoughts - in hindsight - I have been biting off just enough to chew on regularly.

One of Spurgeon’s writings had me in its grips: The walk of a Christian to realize on a daily basis that he/she needs to depend on God in prayer. The prayer to actively seek the power that God wants to give us to conquer sin in our lives - God knows that we cannot overcome sin in our own power, nor has he left us alone to do so; he has given us his Holy Spirit who empowers us.

If you do not already, I urge you to ask our LORD Jesus to reveal himself to you; that for this day, he may shine on you light from heaven, bestowing his Grace, Mercy and Peace on you -- that He would reign, in your heart and in your life for his glory.

...Sharing in the Holy Spirit and tasting the goodness of the Word of God does have a side-effect however, it will leave you wanting more.

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
