NATURALLY & SPIRITUALLY BALANCED

1 Corinthians 15: 42-46
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. 43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

In the natural, we have fragile, delicate, human bodies inherited from Adam who was corruptible…but Christ-like is who should thrive to be; incorruptible and full of power. Where or is there a balance between the two? Or is it one or the other? Is it being so holy that we forget we are human with imperfections? Is it knowing who you are in Christ though you yet have issues? Is it seeking the face of God? Is it repentance?

In writing my interview with Reggie “Reg”, I made the statement that I think he has a natural and spiritual real-ness that a lot of Christians lack; balance. Why do I think he’s balanced? He knows what God has called him to do, he is thankful, he seeks God, he talks to God, he asks God, he waits on God, and he has not forgotten from where God has brought him. This world can't give us all that we need but we continue to ask it to instead of God. Why? I think when we do this...we are not naturally and spiritually balanced. What do you think? Enlighten me!
