Walking in the Spirit Every Day of the Week

What if walking in the Spirit became part of our daily lives? And we lived a life consistent in words and actions Sunday through Saturday.

I relate the the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 7 when he describes doing what he doesn’t want to do, and not doing what he wants to do. And the Lord is the only One who can deliver him from this dilemma—and deliver us.

So when Paul addresses not giving in to the desires of the flesh in Galatians 5, walking in the Spirit is the antidote.

Let’s dig into what it looks like to walk in the Spirit daily.

Walking in the Spirit Requires the Holy Spirit’s Power

The Holy Spirit empowers believers to think, speak, and act in ways that honor Christ every day. We need the Holy Spirit’s power to live faithfully.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (ESV)

When Our Actions Match Our Words

People notice whether our conduct aligns with our profession of faith. When our lives reflect the truth we proclaim, we are a living testimony.

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22 (ESV)

Daily Walking in the Spirit

Sometimes people confine faith in God to Sunday worship. Instead, we demonstrate real faith in our homes, workplaces, relationships, and decisions throughout the week.

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17 (NIV)

Living and walking in the Spirit keeps us out of slavery to our flesh and sinful desires. “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16 (ESV)
