Scripture:
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”
— Galatians 5:16 (NKJV)
Points:
- The Christian life is a daily walk — an ongoing relationship with the Holy Spirit.
- Walking in the Spirit is not mystical — it means living in step with God’s Word and guidance.
- The Spirit leads us away from sinful desires by giving us better desires.
- We are not powerless — the Spirit gives strength to obey.
- When we walk with the Spirit, we grow in holiness, love, and peace.
Poem: Step by Step with Him
Not by force or hurried thought,
The Spirit leads a slower way.
He walks with grace, not sharp demands.
He does not shout; He gently speaks.
His path is firm, yet full of peace.
I used to run ahead, alone.
I used to follow every whim.
But now I walk in better steps.
I learn to listen as I move.
The Spirit teaches how to live.
The pull of flesh still fights within.
Old habits knock and call my name.
But walking close, I feel His strength.
He quiets storms with steady hands.
He turns my gaze to truth again.
He points to love when hate makes sense.
He moves me slow when anger climbs.
He tells me when to stop and rest.
He helps me live beyond the past.
He leads with wisdom, not regret.
Today I walk, not by myself.
The Spirit walks these roads with me.
I do not need to earn His help.
I only need to take His hand.
And step by step, I follow Him.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me to walk with You today. Lead me away from selfishness and into the ways of Christ. Teach me to listen, follow, and rest in Your presence. Amen.
