Some have the idea that if they have one good “spiritual moment” every year or so that it will carry them until they have another one. “Spiritual moments” for some folks may vary from an especially pleasant day, to being extra generous to someone in need, to hiking to the summit of a breathtakingly beautiful mountain range. Of course, for some, that “spiritual moment” happens when they attend a church service (perhaps a few times a year) to get that extra boost.
As dedicated Christians, we all will experience “highs” and “lows” in our spiritual strength and growth. However, our spiritual stamina is maintained because we are not waiting around for a special “moment,” but we recognize that true spirituality is a life. Paul spoke in Galatians 6:1 to those “who are spiritual.” The spiritual ones are those who bear “the fruit of the spirit…live in the spirit…walk in the spirit” and “sow to the spirit” (5:22, 25; 6:8). That’s not a “one-time thing”; that’s a “life-time thing”! If God came looking today for those “who are spiritual,” in order that they might “restore” those who are struggling, where would He find you?
