Galatians 5:16 NASB "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh."If I could only get over there, I know I'll catch more fish! Today we learn how to walk to help us not carry out those deeds that will lead to sin. Fishing along the shore, I saw a spot just over this rock pile, that I thought we be better fishing, the only problem was trying to get there! I was catching fish where I was and having fun doing so but something inside me wanted more! I never got to the other spot for the climb up and over the rocks was just too dangerous and hard! In life, we find that our flesh wants to go where it shouldn't, that we aren't happy with what we have been blessed with but we want more and in getting there, we will ultimately sin! The key is being honest with ourselves that what we want is not from the Holy Spirit but from our fleshly desire to get more! If we only had that desire to get more of God, and the Holy Spirit, I wonder how our walk would be?! peace, tom
