MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Friday January 31, 2020
Topic: Walk in the Spirit
Text: Galatians 5:16 – 18
Paul acknowledged
the great weakness of the godly, because they are partly regenerated and exhorts
them to remember that they are endued with the Spirit of God. He also exhorts
them to walk in that Spirit they have been endued with so as not to give room
for the flesh.
The
more we obey the new nature, and follow the leading of the Spirit of grace, the
more the power of indwelling sin and inbred corruption in us will be mortified
and kept under check. Obedience to the Spirit enables us to walk in the Spirit
because old nature and new nature cannot dwell together. They “are
contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.”
– Galatians 5:7b
Walking
in the Spirit is one of the best ways we can live the life that is pleasing to
God. By pleasing God, we attract His blessings upon our lives. In this case it
is best for us to walk in the Spirit. We can do this well by knowing what God
wants us to do through the study of His words.
When
the word of God is rooted in us, we will no longer be ignorant about what God
expects from us.
Are
you walking in the flesh or in the Spirit?
Food for Thought: Walking in the Spirit makes us more like Christ
Memory verse: Romans 8:6
Prayer: Lord
Jesus, help me to walk in the Spirit so as to mortify the indwelling sin and
corruption of the flesh in Jesus name.
