Galatians 5:22-23 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.
Galatians 5:25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
OBSERVATION
Of course, I had to blog on the fruit of the Spirit - this is my personal goal in life! As I studied this Scripture, I realized that to simply place these characteristics before me as something to work at is the same as what the Galatians were doing by reverting back to living by the law. Notice verse 25 - by keeping in step with the Spirit, by walking with the Spirit, fruit is naturally produced.
APPLICATION
So instead of striving to be loving, joyful, peaceful and patient, kind, good faithful, gentle and full of self-control, I just need to be filled with the Spirit. I need to walk with, cooperate with, and seek the Spirit of God. The fruit will come.
PRAYER
Father, please show me more and more ways to cooperate with Your Holy Spirit. Keep me in step with you. Amen.
