Walk in The Spirit

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. (Ephesians 5:17)
 
 
Since you are set apart from the world, refuse to live the way the world demands you live. 
 
 
As sons or daughters of the most high God, we are called to be set apart as representatives of His kingdom. By seeking the Lord and understanding what His will is for us, we honor Him.

 

How many times have we jumped headfirst into something before seeking the Lord about it? How many times have we done or committed to something without consulting the Lord’s will? 
 
By walking in the Spirit instead of the world, we actively seek out God’s will instead of submitting to the flesh or the will of the world.
 
 
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16)
By being in tune with the Holy Spirit instead of the flesh, having confidence in what the Lord’s will is comes much easier. 

 

Because you are called to be set apart, you carry the kingdom of God with you wherever you go. 

 

When you walk into a room, Jesus is walking in there with you because you are a carrier of His presence! 

Today, seek the Lord in what His will is for your daily life. He longs to be involved and included in your daily decisions! You can have peace and joy knowing that His will for you is the best there is! 

“Lord, thank you for helping me to seek your will above the will of the world. As a carrier of your kingdom and presence, I desire to be in tune with the Holy Spirit so that I may influence those around me and point them to you!”

 

“His will for you is the best there is”. I love this! I pray you are encouraged by this devotion to be in tune with the Spirit.


Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!


Live by His Spirit, and Obey His Word

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23) 
 
It can be so easy for us to see the fault in others. 
 
However, we want and sometimes expect them to only see the good in us.  

Our sinful nature easily sways us and leads us astray. 
 
We become critical and selfish when we don’t get our own way.
 
We can become belligerent or angry when things don’t go as we planned.
 
However, God tells us that type of behavior only leads to discourse and dissension within the body of Christ.
 
He desires for each of us to live by His Spirit, and obey His Word.
 
On your own you are powerless!
 
However, as you rely on Him, and become sensitive to His leading, your life will produce the fruits of His Spirit.
 
Just like a well-watered garden overflowing with beauty, your life will be a bountiful blessing to others.
 
Pray for wisdom, to respond to difficult situations with love and grace. Ask Him to help you respond in kindness with patience when you would naturally be inclined to do otherwise. Ask Jesus to guide your words and actions so that you can be a blessing to others. 

 

What a powerful devotion, full of such truth. I pray you are encouraged to be a blessing to others. 


Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
