Go about your life in a way that is being directed by the Spirit of God! And don’t allow the passions of your fleshly nature lead you into their inevitable outcome ..... (Galatians 5.16)Rain, rain, rain ..... what weather! But so necessary to bring life to the earth. Yet we prefer the sunshine alone, even if the UV light rays can kill us! This is true of the spiritual life too.
It’s so easy to lose an appetite for being in Gods presence; and so hard to get it back again, when we’ve got to love the things that kill us! And this really is what happens, when we allow our passions and longings, unrestrained and unrestricted, to lead and direct us. They will carry us on into death. Our lusts fulfilled will bring us death.
The Spirit leads us into a harnessing of our longings. Harnessed to God. Trained to express His presence. His purpose. His pleasure.
And we can get to enjoy this again. To laugh with delight and bask and soak in His presence. This is life. I’m really enjoying tasting this presence of God. Try it again. Get harnessed to Jesus once more.
