Our spiritual lives like our physical lives occasionally need examination. You see your doctor an he checks your temperature, your blood levels, your color, and weight amid a dozen other things to ascertain the condition of your overall well-being. Afterward the doctor may recommend medication, life-style changes or send you on your way with his stamp of approval. Spiritually, we also need regular examinations. The doctor is our Lord Jesus Christ and the examination is simply a comparison of your life, and the word of God. Areas where we are weak in the faith are shored-up by applying the teachings of God via the New Testament. One test of our spiritual well-being is our prayer life, or lack of. Not a complex lesson, but an important one for certain.
