How are you doing today? here's a question we are each asked every day, here is the truth some ask how you are cause they care and others it's a conversation starter where as other's they just ask and don't care to really know!! you can spot out each types usally. today i want to talk about running you'll see how I tie "how are you" to running in a moment...
Ok so have you ever wanted to run? wanted to escape to paradise you know where there's no hard times everything is ginger peachy dandy fine. no one knows you so this means you don't actually have to tell anyone whats really going on inside. ok so here's where we tie "how are you" into "running away"
The past 2 years I have been struggling figuring out where I best fit, people tell you pray about it, and i have but what am I to do in the meantime. while waiting for this next best thing I have slowly hid myself away on a shelf hidden from most people this is where 2 of me comes in.
You may not understand the 2 of me part. here let me explain for a moment. there is the flesh which is a cloud of yukkyness and then there's the holy spirit which everything good. the other day i was reading Romans 8 and wham bam thank you mam hit me hard. like mental slap in the face. ouch!! here's how we relate "how are you" to this. when you are living in the flesh. you do things that aren't good trust me it's not fun. check out what the bible says.......
Life Through the Spirit
8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you.
12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to son ship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs —heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
so next time someone asks you how you are.know you don't have to say your good. being real is a sure way to admit that life is not perfect...
so how are you doing? i mean how are you really doing today?
