Good morning everyone! I am needing coffee this morning. We are still in Galatians 5:16-26:
“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; 20 idolatry 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. 25 Since 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 3: PROMISES
At times He speaks conditional promises, meaning they will only be experienced when a condition is met. For example, He promises to guard our hearts and minds with peace as we lay all of our anxious thoughts before Him with prayer and thanksgiving. (Phil. 4:6-7) Peace comes after we come to Him.
Other times He gives unconditional promises, meaning that they will happen
regardless. For example He promises to never leave or forsake His children. Never. Once His, He will not leave us. We may try to walk away from Him, but He remains our Father. He promises. - Savoring Living Water
Today read your passage while looking for PROMISES. Remember to note whether a promise is conditional or unconditional.
• What is promised to me in this passage?
• Are these promises conditional or unconditional?
• If conditional, what does He require for the promise to be fulfilled?
I hope y’all all have a great morning! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
