Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit binding yourselves.

BIND YOUR SPIRIT WITH GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
What makes you distracted from being united in Christ?
Are you prioritizing the important things in life?
Keep yourselves constantly joined in his spirit
Then he will give you strength to overcome sin.
Do everything to keep yourselves pure from the world
Constantly seek God and be guided through his word
Don’t give in to the lies that will make you go astray
Seek God and obey his truth in all things each passing day.

Whoever we decide to join ourselves with will have a big influence on us and our lives. That is why the saying “Birds of the same feather flock together” holds partially true. You wouldn’t bind yourself with someone who totally represent the opposite ideals you have. Even the bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:14 that evil and good don’t belong together. Christians must be careful who they associate themselves with because God tells us that we must never have any participation in wickedness in Ephesians 5:11. So, how come some believers bind themselves with other kinds of spirit? When we disobey God’s commands, we are creating a barrier between us and the Lord. When we take part in things that God prohibits, we are defying him. We are asked to make every effort to keep ourselves united with God’s Spirit.
