Walk in the Spirit

Today’s readings

Exodus 1-3; Galatians 5

Galatians 5:16

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

And this is the key to successful godly living. 

Very often, we focus too much on the “thou shalt nots” and forget the “thou shalls”! 

Walk in the Spirit! Fill our lives with good thoughts (Phi 4:8) good speech (Col 4:6) and good works (Jam 1:27; Gal 6:10). 

Don’t get caught up in the worldly rut of evil surmising, gossiping and backbiting, “dog-eat-dog” (c.f. v.15) culture. 

That is instrumental to stopping us from going back to our old selves, to fight against temptation and sin. 

Let us be focused on spiritual “health care” by building up a strong, robust foundation that hardly falls ill, rather than constantly on spiritual “sick care”, looking for solutions to treat chronic diseases.
