Afternoon Moment
This afternoon’s reflection comes from a timeless devotional that has guided millions of believers in their daily walk with Christ, including me. Its wisdom reminds us that life in the Spirit is not a spiritual ideal—it is a daily necessity. The words that follow are drawn directly from the heart of Beth Moore, one of today’s most trusted voices in Christian devotion and discipleship. They are taken from her book, Praying God’s Word Day by Day, which continues to inspire readers to align their hearts and minds with the truth of Scripture through prayer.
IF WE ARE NOT OCCUPIED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, WE HAVE NOTHING OF GOD IN US FOR HIM TO SHOW.
Lord, the fruit of Your Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law (Gal. 5:22–23). Please fill me with Your Spirit and eclipse my personality with Yours.
Lord, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—help me to make the choice to think about such things (Phil. 4:8). Lord God, help me to feed the Spirit, not the flesh! Changing the way I think will change the way I feel!
