Soul prosperity – it sounds so abstract, doesn’t it? I’m smiling, because right now I’ve got all kinds of R&B songs running through my head, cued by the word soul… (now you do, too, don’t you?)
I’m grateful that Neil wrote that last paragraph. We’ve got a measure for how prosperous our
soul is, and it’s the list of the fruits of the spirit:
But when the Holy
Spirit controls our lives, He will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control… Galatians 5:22
As I invest myself in becoming more like Christ, this list
gets less impossible, and more like something I’m on the road towards. Today, I’m going to be conscious of the
choices I’m making to (or not to) allow my soul to prosper.
