"We Can Move In Step With God's Guidance…"
Galatians 5:16
New International Version
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
It’s interesting that in Galatians 5:16 Paul did not say the cravings, or the desires of the flesh, would no longer exist for the children of God. He said that we can choose to be led by the Holy Spirit, and by making that choice, we would not give in to the temptations that would try to separate us from Him.
There are many things that try to lead us—other people, the devil, our own flesh (our body, mind, will, or emotions). There are many voices in the world that are speaking to us, and often several at the same time. In order to live, it is imperative that we choose to be led by the Holy spirit instead of those other voices.
The spirit of God and is sent to dwell in each of us, to aid us in being all God had designed us to be, and to have all He wants us to have. Being led by the Spirit of God means He leads us by peace and by wisdom, as well as by His Word.
He speaks in a still, small voice in our heart as we seek to live our lives for Him. The more we follow His leading, the more we will be victorious in life. Begin each day by saying, “Lord, I will listen for Your leading today. Give me wisdom and peace so I can move in step with Your guidance.”
