When we walk with a friend it is more about the journey,Today's Scripture:
Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Galatians 5:16
You're taking a long walk with a close friend. What happens on this little adventure? You talk some; your friend responds. The friend brings up a subject; you both discuss it. Your walk together involves talking, thinking, reacting, posing questions, offering answers, and simply enjoying each other's presence. You might say hello to people passing by, and comment on what's going on down a certain street or at work or school. A walk with a friend isn't simply a means to get somewhere; or to just help you loose weight or lower cholesterol, it is the process of getting there that's important and part of the fun of it.
The Bible often compares the biblical lifestyle to a walk. As you go through life, you recognize that God's Spirit is there with you, counseling, consoling, offering advice, giving encouragement, pointing out wrong thoughts or attitudes.
God's Spirit, like a best friend on a walk, desires that you enjoy his presence and learn to embrace him all day, every day.
Selah people' and friends this verse from Galatians teaches you the vital truth that if you follow the Holy Spirit, he will help you do what's right always and never to do what is wrong. AS the Bible teaches, it's like a walk or stroll where God's Spirit becomes a real vibrant part of your life. With Him there, you will naturally turn away from wrong and do good.
"Walking by the Spirit is not difficult. Ask Him to reveal himself to you. Then proceed, expecting Him to speak, guide, encourage, and point out any wrong path you might be taking. Remember my friends you do not have to walk alone. Allow your friend to come along and guide you."
