The mind of man is the battleground on which every moral and spiritual battle is fought. Because of its inherited bias toward sin (and self), the natural mind is hostile to God and does not submit to God's law-Indeed it cannot. See Romans 8:7
As Christians, we all need to go thru a spiritual clinic of sorts. Be reminded of whose we are, what that means and the pitfalls we encounter. From our part of sanctification to God's, when we get whose responsibility of sanctification is ours and what is Gods' wrong, it can lead to attitudes that are hurtful and damaging to following Christ.
Another pitfall of our Spiritual Clinic is suffering. Much as been written on suffering alone but in light of our overall spiritual clinic, suffering can bring to light our character, our fears and our faith. Paul's well known writings of My grace is sufficient. What does that mean and how can we apply that. It is the fire that makes a Christian. "Blessed fire which secures the companionship of the Son of God. My Grace - My love in action. Not a promise of grace to plead by a bestowal of grace upon which to draw".
The reading of this text shows how high the bar really is. It is not meant to be discouraging but to show where our focus and heart lies. It is meant to draw you nearer to the only one who can satisfy. Where not you get but receive to give. You cannot give what you do not have. It is important in our spiritual walk to realize what we are missing from God. What we are not drawing from him. What are we drawing from. The light or the darkness. I highly recommend.
A Special Thank you to Moody Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review. I did end up buying my own copy as my ARC was somewhat damaged. When I started reading, I realized that I needed a clean copy so I can get to receive.
