We are still on Galatians 5:16-26, so I’ll repost it here.
“16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[a] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.” (NIV)
Day 2: TRUTHS
Lies fill our world and seep into our homes. If we don’t know His truths then lies will
take us captive. Lies have taken me captive. If lies bind us, we doubt God’s love and question His faithfulness when difficulties arise. If lies fill our minds, we define God’s character based upon our circumstance rather than based upon His revelation. We must maintain an arsenal of truths in our hearts and souls in order to combat lies. – Savoring Living Water
With your journal and pen ready, look for specific TRUTHS in this week’s text. Read the passage three times, each time answering one of the following questions:
• What does this passage teach about God?
• What does this passage teach about the author?
• What can I learn about who I am in Christ?
As you find truths, list them in your journal. Consider making a master list of all you learn through your studies about the Holy Spirit, the fruit that comes as you keep in step with the Spirit of God, and what is true of those who are in Christ.
Alright ladies, I can’t wait to hear what y’all think. I’m also praying for all of us to get into a routine, how are you doing with that? Are you perfect like me? (HA! you know I’m kidding.)
