In Step // Galatians 5:25
Galatians 5:25 (NIV) | Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Today’s verse is an important one for the Jesus follower to keep in mind. The Apostle Paul was writing about how the Christian is not to be driven by the passions and desires of the flesh, but the Holy Spirit. This is a beautiful mystery where we experience an internal power and external propulsion. These forces working around us and within us are designed to help keep us in step with God and God’s purposes. In order to stay in step, though, we must ensure we keep fueled and aflame, so we don’t burn out, empowering us to live for the Lord even — and especially! — when it’s hard. So, let’s get ready for worship as we praise, pray, and learn from God’s Word today with others seeking to keep in step with the Spirit.
