Good Morning!! I remember several years ago when I was teaching my kids how to drive.
Talk about nerve-racking! Sitting in the passenger seat, I felt
absolutely helpless. All I could do was give them guidance and allow
them to follow it. And when they first began driving on their own, I
don’t think I slept for days! Now when it comes to teaching kids how to drive, you can do it one of
two ways. You can start by showing them the first aid kit, the map, the
insurance card, and where to put their Starbucks while the car is
moving. Or (the best way), you can let them start driving,...and show them
what to do along the way.
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For
the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what
is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that
you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.—Galatians 5:16 -18 (NIV)
God wants us to know how to steer through life. One way He could’ve
taught us that is by telling us exactly how to respond to any and every
situation that might arise. All we’d have to do is memorize His
instructions, and we’d be good to go. But like driving, God knows the best way for us to learn is to get out
and experience life for ourselves, walking by the Spirit and listening
to Him as we go. So if you want to get the most out of life, live
teachable.
Start allowing the Holy Spirit to guide your steps,...and you'll learn how to excel in every aspect of life!
Sweet Spirit of God, lead us, teach us, help us,...but first, You need to make us lead-able, teach-able, and open to help. In Jesus' name. Amen.
"The
liberating truth of Christianity is that God meets us where we are,
takes us as we are,...and loves us too much to leave us there."
