Galatians 5:16 says, “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”

Now, that’s some good, plain advice. Paul is telling us that if we stay in step with God, we won’t trip over ourselves. And let’s be honest—we spend a lot of time tripping. We know what’s right, but we let our tempers, cravings, and bad habits steer the ship. That’s like putting a cat behind the wheel and wondering why you ended up in a ditch.

Walking in the Spirit means letting God lead—every step, every decision, every reaction. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being faithful. When we listen to the Spirit, we find peace where there was anxiety, patience where there was frustration, and strength where we once felt weak.

So today, before you act, speak, or even think too hard—pause. Ask yourself, “Am I walking in the Spirit, or am I just stumbling through?” Let God lead, and you’ll be amazed at how much smoother the road gets.
