"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18
Jesus taught us how to live in the spirit with God while remaining in the world. He did not come so his words could be shown as examples of how to live in the world. No - he came to set us free from the world - the world is sin - Jesus is clean - pure. Think not in terms of applying the Lord's words in the non-littoral. He is the truth.
He says - "sell your things and follow me" - not moan and wail and borrow money. He says, "love your neighbor" - do not covet. Yet this world scorns their neighbor and covets everything. Choose Jesus in every situation. Pray to him - love him always - listen to his love.
Pray without ceasing. In prayer with the Lord you are always with the Lord. When you are with the Lord - you are always where you are supposed to be. Rejoice in the knowledge of the spirit of God. Rejoice in the triumph of Jesus Christ.
