Alive by the Spirit
But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if the Spirit of God dwells in you.But if anyone has not the Spirit of Messiah, he is none of His. And if Messiah is in you, indeed the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of the One who raised up Yeshua from the dead dwells in you, the One who raised up Messiah from the dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive by His Spirit who dwells in you.

I am enjoying a quiet weekend, had a wonderful time yesterday at fellowship singing, reading, praying and having a meal together. Today is sunny and warmer; my daughter Adrienne left this morning to drive home to Colorado. Radiation treatments, on hold for a couple of days, resume tomorrow. They are short, and praise the Lord, I've noticed no ill effects other than some fatigue.
Today, I've been contemplating reckoning my self dead to sin, but alive to the Messiah...purposing anew to put to death the deeds of the flesh, all the while choosing life through the Creator of all life...I confess, it's an enigma to me, this life/death balance, but it is time for me to confront it, and learn what God has for me to learn from it, hopefully taking something that will be an encouragement to others around me.
