Walking In The Spirit
Devotional
Every day we face a choice between two paths: walking in the Spirit or walking in the flesh. This choice determines not only our own spiritual health but also our testimony to the watching world. When we walk in the Spirit, we become living illustrations of God's reality and goodness. Walking in the Spirit means allowing God's nature to flow through us. It produces love where there might naturally be irritation, peace where there could be anxiety, and patience where we might feel frustrated. This supernatural transformation doesn't happen through willpower or religious effort—it's the result of staying connected to God through relationship. When we operate in the flesh, even in religious activities, we display quarreling, ambition, and self-centeredness. These attitudes give people an excuse to reject God because they see no real difference between believers and non-believers. Our fleshly behavior becomes a stumbling block rather than a stepping stone to faith. The beautiful truth is that when we walk in the Spirit, we don't have to manufacture good behavior—it flows naturally from our connection with God. We become authentic advertisements for the transforming power of the Gospel. People see something different in us, something attractive and real that draws them to investigate the source of our peace and joy. This is why our daily choice to walk in the Spirit matters so much. We're not just living for ourselves—we're living as representatives of God's kingdom, showing the world what life with God looks like.
Bible Verse
'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.' - Galatians 5:22-23
Reflection Question
What specific situations in your life require you to consciously choose walking in the Spirit over walking in the flesh?
Quote
When we walk in the Spirit, we display we are living testimony of God. Because what follows us, what is on us, is the very nature of God.
Prayer
Spirit of God, I choose today to walk in step with You. Help me to display Your fruit in my relationships and circumstances. Make me a living testimony of Your goodness and grace to everyone I encounter. Amen.
