Know your place since we are adopted by God
For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Romans 8:15
We must realize that learning to walk in the Spirit is a mindset; though it may spill over into our physical lives, for the most part, it is connecting our head to our heart. It’s not walking in the Lord with our head only, which could be harsh or restrictive, and not exclusively with our heart, which could be overly emotional, but it’s a balance of both. So think of it like this: we were lost and alone in this world, wandering to and fro without direction, and God sees us and feels sorry for our condition. He sends the Holy Spirit to see if we want to live under his roof. If we are agreeable, He fights for us to take us out of the cruel world, goes to court, and adopts us. We no longer wander aimlessly but are now joint heirs with his other children. He then begins to teach us His ways so we learn to act like part of the family. We now have the comfort of belonging and realize the love He has for us because we are His children. We merged our heads and hearts to understand our position; though separated from the world, we are now learning to walk in this world as royalty. The more we open our eyes, the more we realize that God sets our value, which is purely spiritual. Know your worth in the eyes of God and live that way.
