Walk in the Spirit

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. – Galatians 5.16-17

The Bible talks a lot about our walk. We are told to walk in love, to walk as as children of light, to walk circumspectly, and many other ways. The one that really sticks out though is one that summarises them all – walk in the Spirit.

Walking in the Spirit means we are walking under His control and direction, submitting to Him and letting Him fill us and produce His fruit in us. It is letting Him shine though us to the world around.

The flesh and the spirit always do battle with each other. That’s the reason we often find ourselves doing the things we don’t want and not doing the things we do want. The Spirit must be our guide – not our flesh. If we truly walk in the flesh we will not seek to please the flesh.

Lord, give me that spirit walk day by day.
