I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

– Galatians 5:16, NKJV

To walk in the Spirit means living each day under the guidance and influence of the Holy Spirit. Walking in the Spirit requires daily depending on the Holy Spirit for strength, wisdom, and guidance. It means you consciously choose to submit to His direction, not only in spiritual matters but also in other aspects of your life.

Walking in the Spirit means obeying God and trusting Him. You know the Holy Spirit will never lead you contrary to God’s will. Your mind is daily transformed until your acts become aligned with God’s will consciously or unconsciously. Paul said in Romans 12:2 that our renewal will enable us to discern God’s will – good, perfect, and pleasing to Him. The result of this is the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) This was discussed extensively last week in our series on Christian character.

I ask you to seek the in-filling of the Holy Spirit. This fresh infilling will empower you to live victoriously and fulfill God’s purposes.

Insight: Walking by the Spirit empowers us to overcome the flesh, live according to God’s will, and reflect Christ’s character.

Prayer: Lord, help me to walk in the Spirit daily.
