One step at a time, we can learn to walk with the Spirit and live a life that honors God.
Think about when you first learned how to walk. Did you just jump up on your feet and start running around like a teenager? No way! You stood up and took one little step. And then you fell back down. Just ask your mom. Nobody starts with teenager steps. Everybody starts with baby steps.
Key Points:
- The Holy Spirit gives us power for good habits.
- Good habits look like the fruit of the Spirit.
- It takes baby steps to walk by the Spirit.
From the Bible:
Galatians 5:16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
Galatians 5:25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.
