Thank God, He loves
us! I don’t know about you, but every now and then I just have to ask our
Father how he puts up with me. He allows me to return to Him, and in His great
mercy, He kindly forgives and forgets again. New mercies, tender mercies, loving
kindness each and every day. The more we seek Him and return to Him, the
steadier we become. Our next turning back may not take quite so long.
For we
live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
We get ourselves in
trouble if we move too far ahead of God or lag too far behind. The Holy Spirit
is there. He lives within us, always available to guide and give Godly wisdom.
We can train ourselves to listen and to heed His voice as our commander in
chief. After all, He knows us more intimately than we know ourselves. Don’t get
too far ahead of His plan so He has to yank you back into place. And don’t wait
until He has to drag you by the scruff of the neck to catch up.
Since we
live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Galatians 5:25
Keeping in step
with the Spirit. We need a little discipline, some hard work studying the word,
some good communication with our instructor and pretty soon, our steps will be
fluid and practiced, just like a beautiful dance, synchronized with the One of
our hearts.
Dear Jesus,
Teach us the dance of life in the Spirit. It is like no other
movement on earth. Give us a sure and practiced step today as we face the
challenges of life. Take the lead.
Amen
