"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." -Galatians 5:25-26 (NIV)
In my brief time in marching band, I can remember struggling to keep in step. Playing an instrument, making turns, and staying in formation were all things that need to happen as the marcher keeps in step with everyone else in the band. Sometimes life seems to present many other needs that we must consider, but we also need to keep in step!
Even though our lives present challenges and distractions, if we choose to live by the Spirit, then we need to keep our lives in step with the Spirit. We need to try to live, to act and speak, in ways that reflect God's love, grace, and mercy. We are not perfect and sometimes may fall out of step, but we can "shuffle our feet" and get back in step. Through prayer, reading God's Word, and fellowship with other believers can help us to keep in step and to keep moving forward in God's plan for each of our lives!
Keep in step with the Spirit through prayer and time with God's word!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and guiding me. Please continue to show me Your way for my life and help me to keep in step with the Spirit and Your plans for me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
