But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts].
Galatians 5:16 AMP
Glory, honour and adoration be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Today’s scripture is admonishing us to walk in the Spirit. That is to allow the Spirit of God to lead and guide us. This means that we have a choice to make between living according to our strength and abilities or according to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
The scripture is clear that when we live by our strength we gratify the desires of the flesh including back biting, adultery, fornication, masturbation etc. The antidote is to allow the Spirit of God to direct us.
Walk habitually in the Holy Spirit means consulting the Holy Spirit in every step of your life. That is the way to put the flesh in check and under control.
Lord Jesus help us to live and walk completely by the Holy Spirit so we don’t gratify the desires of the flesh. May the power of the Holy Spirit live in us to guide all our moves in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
