Scripture John 9

One of the easiest things today that anyone can do is to give into fleshly desires. Sin is the easiest thing to commit. It comes to us as natural as breathing. The Bible tells us in Psalm 51:5, "I was shapen in inequity and in sin did my mother conceive me." The natural thing for a person to do is sin. But we do not have to stay that way. There is a way out. We have a choice and it is up to us what way we live.

We can continue to commit all the sins listed in this Scripture reading or we can give our lives to God and be led by His Spirit. We can be under the Spirit's control. I would much rather have the fruit of the Spirit in my life than all the things listed under the category of living in the lust of the flesh, wouldn't you?

If you are someone who is longing to get rid of fleshly things, allow the Spirit of God to do a work in your life. Yield your life to the Holy Spirit and when you do, the fruit of the Spirit will come alive in you. It will be like Verse 16 says, you will "walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfil the lust of the flesh."




If you walk the world's way
Your life will be a mess
But if you let the Spirit lead
You'll be happy and blessed
