Think Spiritually

From: Every Day Light - Selwyn Hughes

Ephesians 5:18 "...Be filled with the Holy Spirit."

What is the difference between natural thinking and spiritual thinking? Natural thinking is on the level of the earth - the level of man; spiritual thinking is on a higher level altogether - the level of God. 

It is surprising that so many Christians think naturally about their problems rather than spiritually. We will never learn to live effectively until we understand that the whole of life is spiritual, not just parts of it.

None of the rulers of this world recognized the Lord Jesus Christ when He was here. It was because they looked at Him from a natural perspective - they saw only a carpenter. Without the Holy Spirit operating upon their minds, they just could not understand. Ultimately, the problems and difficulties of life are all spiritual; so the sooner we learn to think spiritually, the better we will be.
