Spirit Source

Proverbs 20:27 (KJV) The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

As I was reading this, I was wondering how our spirit would illuminate what goes on inside of us.  One clue might be that this spirit is usually translated breath, and so you could think of it as the breath of God that is implanted in us, and then God uses that to examine us.

That still isn’t clear.  God views what goes on in our life, our actions, our attitudes, our general spiritual health based upon the inner spirit that we have.  That inner spirit determines how God judged us more than our actual behavior.  While behavior is important, I wouldn’t want to belittle that, the reason for what we do is even more important.

So?  When seeking God’s touch always make sure that you focus on your heart, your spirit, that inner core of who you are.  Ask, and expect, God to transform that.
