Walking With God In Our Daily Lives
"If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.” — Galatians 5:25
When we receive Jesus, it doesn’t mean that we put Him in a little box marked “Sunday morning,” go get Him out on that day, sing a few songs to Him, talk to Him a little, then put Him back in the box until the next Sunday. If we receive Him, we have Him with us always. God is not pleased when people leave Him out of their daily lives. We can’t just go through the motions. We either have a real relationship with God that’s alive and meaningful, or we don’t have one with Him at all. Being in a relationship with God means growing daily in our knowledge of Him and His ways. It means manifesting the fruit of the Spirit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. If you’re not satisfied with the state of your relationship with God, ask the Holy Spirit to get involved in every aspect of it. If you will do that in honesty and sincerity, He will begin to work in you in a powerful and exciting way.
