Thw Walk of the Spirit

Galatians 5:24-25 ESV
“And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.”

When we walk in the Spirit, we rely on the Holy Spirit to guide us in through, word, and deed. According to the prior verses, 22 and 23, the fruits of the Spirit are intricately involved in our walk with the Spirit. When we walk in the Spirit, we walk in love, we live in love for God.

When we walk in the Spirit, we walk in joy, we exhibit gladness in what God has done, is doing, and will do.

When we walk in the Spirit, we walk in peace, we live worry-free and refuse anxiety (Philippians 4:6).

When we walk in the Spirit, we walk in patience, we are known for having a “long fuse” and do not lose our temper foolishly.

When we walk in the Spirit, we walk in kindness, we show tender concern for the needs of others.

When we walk in the Spirit, we walk in goodness, our actions reflect virtue and holiness.

When we walk in the Spirit, we walk in faithfulness, we are steadfast in our trust of God and His Word.

When we walk in the Spirit, we walk in gentleness, our lives are characterized by humility, grace, and thankfulness to God. 

When we walk in the Spirit we walk in sel-control, we display moderation, constraint, and the ability to say “no” to the flesh.

Prayer:
Father, if I’m truly Yours, I will exibit Your characteristics and virtues. If I’m truly Yours, I will strive to be like you, not like I want to be because I have the excuse of being human but like You have created to me to be.
