Your spiritual life refers to what’s happening in your soul and human spirit. God gives you a spiritual life so you can operate in the devil’s world. Your spiritual life and your spiritual growth go with you to heaven. “The Word of the Lord endures forever” (1 Pet 1:25). How is your spiritual life? Are you maturing and replicating the thinking of Christ? Do you know and use God’s 10 problem-solving devices? Have you acquired the traits of the fruit of the Holy Spirit: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Gal 5:22-23).

Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Joy comes through accepting the free gift of salvation, “Good news of great joy” (Luke 2:10), which is both eternal and for the temporal life. True joy comes from putting your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. This joy God provides doesn’t depend on circumstances or details in your life. It comes through the filling of the Holy Spirit and having the Word of God in the mentality of your soul. The Bible is joy. “Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart” (Jer 15:16). The lack of joy is unhealthy. “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones” (Prov 17:22). The greatest joy we can ever have is to know we are completely in the center of the will of God fulfilling His plan for our lives.

You have the right to privacy as you live the Christian way of life. Others should keep their nose out of your business, and you are mandated by God to do the same. “He who guards his mouth and his tongue, guards his soul from trouble” (Prov 21:23). You can destroy your life by running your mouth. During His time on earth, the Lord Jesus Christ set the example for how we are to live. He expected privacy from the disciples. “Then the disciples came to Jesus privately” (Matt 17:19). Stay out of other people’s business. Give them privacy. If you are nosy and judge others, God can take the discipline from them and give it to you. “For in the way you judge, you will be judged” (Matt 7:2).
