It was illuminating to realize one day that spiritual equity can grow the way economic equity on a house grows. By "making payments" over the years or investing or sowing to the Spirit. Over time that natural house equity accumulates and becomes something substantial, something to help us maneuver and better position ourselves financially.
So how then would spiritual equity accrue and give evidence of itself? All the years of praying, of diligently studying the Word of God, all those hours spent singing, and praising and worshipping God, all the days spent in genuine fellowship with God's people were and are certainly not spent in vain. Out of those spiritual investments "interest" is accruing in the formidable form of spiritual authority and credibility that we are not even conscious of most of the time. It also shows itself in greater maturity as a compelling appetite for the things of God and a sincere love for God's people that translates somehow into serving them. When all this has been is some way true of us, even our spoken words tend to carry more weight. This is the kind of added weight we won't mind carrying into the new year! "Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity (capitalized for a reason) and every good path." (Proverbs 2 v.9)
On the other hand, consider "in-equity" remarkably like the word "iniquity" which is the investment of ourselves increasingly in things that do not truly profit because they are progressively losing value. That would be centering our lives more and more solidly around money and entertainment, and the material things and experiences that money can buy. In this manner we would find our words on various topics much easier for others to dismiss.
Let's make a priority point of growing our spiritual "equity" in the year to come in unprecedented measures for the glory of God, giving thanks through faith that it is even more real than all of what visibly and tangibly surrounds us!
