Life can be a fast-paced ride, where we often get caught up in its hustle and bustle. The society we live in today often measures success by how many material possessions we own and what we achieve in our careers. But amidst all of this, we must not forget to prioritize our spiritual well-being.
Living a spiritual life means recognizing our flawed nature and allowing the divine Holy Spirit to guide us towards repentance and empower us to obey God’s Word. It means walking with the Spirit and avoiding self-serving, sinful living.
However, the spiritual journey is not a walk in the park. Sometimes we may question God in moments of weakness or struggle to resist the temptations of the flesh. That’s when we need to examine our lives and strive for spiritual maturity, moving from milk to solid food as we grow in our faith.
So, let us be steadfast in our journey towards spiritual growth. Let’s prioritize the power of the Holy Spirit over our own efforts and desires and trust in the abundance of His grace to transform us into new creations. Let us not be foolish and rely on our own strength, but instead walk with the Spirit and persevere in our path towards spiritual growth.
Remember, as Galatians 3:3 reads, “Are you so foolish? After beginning by the Spirit, are you now finishing by the flesh?” Let’s not let the temptations of the world distract us from our spiritual journey.
