Spirit led

Holy God,

You are teaching us so much. And how truly I thank You for that.

We’ve been taking baby steps toward becoming the people You would have us be. Kind. Loving. Peaceful. Patient. Joyful. Good. Gentle. Faithful. And self-controlled (Galatians 5:22-23). Spirit led.

Oh yes most blessed God, continue Your work in attuning us in obedience to the promptings of Your holy Spirit. And would You just look at this? Galatians 5:16 urges much the same Truth.

The Passion Translation. “As you yield freely and fully to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life.” Mm!

The Voice, “Here’s my instruction: walk in the Spirit, and let the Spirit bring order to your life. If you do, you will never give in to your selfish and sinful cravings.”

Blessed God, You truly are bringing order to our lives. Our home. Thank You Lord.

The Message. “My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God’s Spirit. Then you won’t feed the compulsions of selfishness.”

How I ask You Dearest God, continue Your work in changing us each day more into the people You created us to be.

The more versions of Your Word I read, the more deeply I am impacted by Your Truth!

The Living Bible. “I [the apostle Paul] advise you [the churches in southern Galatia] to obey the Holy Spirit’s instructions. He will tell you where to go and what to do, and then you won’t always be doing the wrong things your evil nature wants you to.”

Yes Lord! Make us ready, willing and able to live this day as You would have us. Completely surrendered to You. Your will. Your way.

We love You. We thank You. And we ask You. All this, in Jesus’ precious name. Use us as examples of all You are. Thank You. Amen.
