Oswald Sanders wrote in his classic book Spiritual Leadership about the following differences between our Natural vs. Spiritual behaviors. NATURAL ========= SPIRITUAL
Self-confident ----------- Confident in God
Knows men -------------- Also knows God
Makes own decision ------ Seeks God's will
Ambitious ------------------ Self-effacing
Uses own methods ------- Finds and follows God's methods
Commands others ------- Objey God
Motivated by self -------- Motivated by love for God and man
Independent ------------- God-dependent
Our old self often stands in the way of our goal towards Spiritual Maturity. Spiritual goal requires spiritual means. Thankfully, it is possible for us to get there through God by prayer with the help of the Holy Spirit.
