Scripture
Galatians 5:24-25
“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”
Observation
Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh–and now we live by the Spirit. Since we now live by the Spirit, we must keep step with that which gives us life.
Application
My old nature is dead and gone–crucified on the day that I became one of His! His Spirit is now that which gives me life and sustains me. Christ has given me freedom where once I was a slave. I can either use my freedom to walk away from the source of life, or I can choose to walk in step with the heart of God–moving when He moves, stopping when He stops, in tune with His pace, His rhythm, His direction. How do I walk in step with Him? By watching Him closely, and paying attention to what He is doing!
Prayer
God, thank you for freedom! Thank you that my old sinful nature is dead and gone, and that I now walk in your Spirit which sustains me!
Help me to daily keep my eyes on you, to move when you do, and to live with your pace and rhythm.
