The chapter I just finished was focused on the role of the Holy Spirit. Something that he said particularly struck me in how I've been feeling lately. The quote said:
"Paul reminded the Philippians that 'we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh' (Philippians 3:3). Part of his intention is to communicate our need to rely on God's power rather than on our own when we draw near to Him."
Lately I've felt as though when I come to worship God I can't "feel" Him. This chapter has caused me to question whether or not when I come to worship God if I try to do so apart from the Holy Spirit. I wonder how many times we come to worship the true God incompletely. If we try to worship the Father through the Spirit yet forgetting Christ are we not in the wrong? In my case if I try to worship the Father through Christ yet without the power of the Holy Spirit have I missed God in complete identity? Have we allowed the mystery of the trinity to cause us to miss His complete identity?
