“And the government will be upon His shoulder.” Isaiah 9:6

The word from God today is “dabbling in Christ”. The definition of dabbling is a superficial or intermittent interest in something.
In the spiritual context, we go in and out of Christ. We go in because we want something and then we go out. At times we all suffer from this behavior. We go in with motives to take from God but fail to find out what God wants from us.
We go out because we are human beings designed to live for self and satisfy our needs.
God wants to give His life to you but He does not want you to go out. He wants you to stay connected to Him at all times.
The government of God is on the shoulders of Jesus. We have to live under His authority. You can accomplish this by inviting the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life. He is the life of Christ and lives in all believers. He desires to teach you the values of Jesus and guide you into a smooth pathway. The Spirit wants to help you make good decisions and fill you with wisdom, strength, and joy. He never sleeps.
If you live under the authority of the Holy Spirit you will not go out from Jesus and return to living for self.
God has given you the mind of Christ. This is how He keeps you on track with His will. The Spirit fills you with the thoughts and wisdom of God so you can navigate through all the moments of life pleasing God.
No one is perfect. So you will go out (or relapse) at times but God is waiting for you to come back under His covering.
I live so you can live. There is no one like Me!
