Back-to-back birthdays in our house, this time it is my Matthew's 33rd.
He is such an amazing blessing to me; truly a gift from God. He is a man that longs to do the will of God and remains so confident in His plans for our lives. I cannot imagine going through this life without him and I thank God for him!!!
Today's prompt is to look at the commands in Galatians 5:16-26. What am I commanded to do or not to do?
While most of the commands in this passage are a bit subliminal, I will state them anyway...
-Walk by the Spirit
-Keep in step with the Spirit
-Do not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
It is interesting to find the 3rd command in with the first two. It is so easy to, when already walking by the Spirit, think of yourself more highly than you ought to.
Help me Father to live by these commands today!

I found that interesting, too! Love that there is one central, repeated command: walk by the power of the Spirit.
ReplyDeleteI think, indirectly, the last command is related to the first. If we have become conceited, we are proud and relying on ourselves, instead of the Spirit...so we are no longer walking by the Spirit!
