Grace and peace, believers.

This week’s memory verse comes from Galatians 5:16:

“Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”

Temptation is a daily challenge for the Christian.  Satan is always dangling some carrot in front of us to get us to bite, and his goal is to bring us back under bondage, because he knows he cannot have our soul.  In order to effectively resist Satan’s efforts, we have to always walk in the Spirit and to not give place to the flesh.  In order to walk in the Spirit, we have to sanctify ourselves; that is, separate ourselves from the world and its worldly cares and desires.  They who are of the world speak of the world, but we who are of God speak of the things of the world to come.  Our conversation is in Heaven, not of earth. 

Therefore, let us walk in the Spirit.
