Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge” (Psalm 62:5-8).

If someone were to ask you, “What is my soul? Your soul?” How would you answer? Oh, you could give the dictionary description, “the immaterial essence of an individual life,” but that’s about as satisfactory an answer as feeding on boiled cardboard or fried cellophane.
So then “What is the soul?”

Well, first and foremost, it is the eternal you. It is not captive to the calendar by any way or means.

It is like a great ear as it reacts to all it hears from sources here on earth and from the heaven-sent voice of God.

It has muscles in the sense that if not used it shrivels and almost dies. I say almost because it is never too late for a man or woman to begin a workout program for this most important part of our being.

Secondly, one very special quality of our souls, they are color blind. For all our earthly foolish-ness, ultimately we are brothers and sisters beneath the Fatherhood of our living God.

To argue other-wise is to create a world of fenced-in ruts. In God’s world where stretched souls live, there are no neighborhood restrictions because the world, the whole world, is our neighborhood.

One isn’t very far into the book of Genesis before the subject of the soul leaps off the pages, “The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

We are further into the first book of the Gospels when we are warned of the soul’s importance, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26)

Indeed, have you ever noticed that men sell their soul to the Devil?
but give their souls to God.

A HEAVENLY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM(1st in series) (on this Wyrck’s Writing blog)

It began Sunday Dec 26, 2010

“I have always been intrigued by a question God put to Adam, “Where are you?” Why did He ask that? What is the meaning behind this? It wasn’t a geographical question, for certainly God knew the answer to that one.

BELOW IS A QUOTE FROM A NEW SERIES on this Wyrick’s Writings site entitled ANGER IS A KILLER. It began Thursday January 6, 2010.

“Do you enjoy visiting friends? More than likely you’re thinking, Preacher, of course, I do.
Now let me ask the other side of the coin - Do you enjoy visiting enemies? No?

Well, I know you must enjoy visiting at least one enemy because, like myself, you probably visit this one quite often. Unfortunately, we all …visit this enemy…whose name is anger.

Some visit anger seldom . Some on a regular basis. And during those visits, some spew and others stew.”
