​Week 13, Day 2
March 29, 2022
Scripture: Galatians 5
 
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 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 5:22–26)
 
We have received a great blessing from God in the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is now possible to keep in step with God, through the Spirit. The works and demands of the law, and my sinful nature that have been preventative of walking with God wholeheartedly, are now set aside. I am set free from my slavery to sin and death. I now entrust my life to God through His Spirit.
 
My simple prayer over the fruit of the Spirit is asking God to cultivate the work of His Spirit in me. “God, through your Spirit, bring forth kindness, love, peace and joy in abundance.”
 
The world does not need more works of the flesh. That’s the stuff the evening news is sorting out for us. Anger, rage, discord, strife….
 
But God offers us a new life, the fruit of the Spirit. Embrace him and walk in step with Him.
