STRENGHTENING THE SPIRIT

14 A man's spirit sustains him in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?
That is what Proverbs 18:14 says. Sickness here doesn't mean physical sickness, although this may include physical sickness. We can look sickly but strong in our spirit. The outside look of a person does not mean that his/her spirit is weak.How can we make our spirit strong to sustain us in every battle of life wether physical or emotional or financial. We need to feed our spirit with the words of God. Jesus said, "man does not live by bread alone". Therefore, in order to overcome all the trials we face in life , we must feed our spirit with the words of God and must have faith in His promises. People who has not a strong spirit easily give up when faced with physical or emotional or financial challenges.. They tend to commit suicide or engaged themselves in drugs, drinking and other things that would temporarily forget their troubles.
So, brothers and sisters, let's take it from the wisdom. Read your Bible, never cease to pray, so you can fight every battle you face. Never forget that Jesus has overcame the world. When He said that He mean all things that gives us trouble done by evil in this world. Everything that does not give us joy came from evil and Jesus has overcame it throught the cross.
