Thoughts on Today's Verse...

It is one thing for us to talk about being filled with the Spirit, but it is quite another to live under the Spirit's control and direction in our lives. Paul reminds us in this passage that we must do more than talk about the Spirit; we must walk with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit must guide our decisions, determine our morality, and control our speech. His fruit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) - must be the evidence, this holy fruit, of the Spirit's presence. As the Spirit leads our "dance through life," we must walk in step with the Spirit!

My Prayer...

Holy God, thank you for your gift of your Spirit, who is alive in me. May your Spirit guide my thoughts and mold me to be like Jesus in thoughts, words, and deeds. I pray that my life shows the evidence of the Spirit's holy leadership. In Jesus' name, I seek to honor the Spirit's presence by bearing the Spirit's fruit. Amen.
