LIFE vs. LIVING!

Jeremiah 1:5

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."

Society today wants us to believe that life begins at birth.  Yet no one has been able to explain to me how 

Jeremiah was known to THE LORD "before" he was formed in the womb.  No one can tell me how JESUS was predicted (prophesied) and named (Luke 2:21) BEFORE HE was formed in the womb.   

GOD is a SPIRIT.   So if GOD knew Jeremiah and JESUS "before" they were formed in the womb, then HE knew my spirit before I was formed in the womb.  HE knows ALL of us (our spirit) before we are formed in the womb (body).  

"LIFE" is from GOD!  Genesis 2:7 says "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a LIVING SOUL."  Our "LIVING SOUL" was breathed into us from GOD ALMIGHTY!  Our living soul is what sets us apart from animals or any other living (body) creatures.   

Modern Society has placed all of the emphasis on our Life (body) and ignored the real life (soul) that GOD breathed into us.  It seems we are more interested in protecting that which is temporal (body) while we leave the spirit (soul) to die from malnutrition.   

We go to fitness centers to exercise and get our "bodies" into shape, yet we find our spiritual health is not important enough to do any spiritual calisthenics.  Look around you and you can judge who "goes to the gym" (body) regularly.   They have a physique that demonstrates it.  Our "LIVING SOUL" also demonstrates our exercise program as well.  Prayer and bible STUDY (not just bible reading) are essential to your LIVING SOUL!     

Joshua 1:8 instructs us that "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."  If our lives demonstrates no spiritual exercise, then we are destined to exhibit spiritual malnutrition.    

Perhaps this is the reason "society" has degraded into one that devalues life so.  We, proclaiming Christian's, have become so enthralled with the "TEMPORAL" that the world cannot hear our words for our actions are speaking so loudly!
