Read Galatians 5:13-18.
How do we “walk in the Spirit?” We do so by allowing our lives to be under the direction of the Holy Spirit. We don’t focus on the host of other noises that come into our lives from a wide variety of sources – some good, some not so good. We do so by constantly asking ourselves “What is God calling me to do?” That requires us to live honestly with ourselves. We have to know it is God and not an allegiance to something else. Today is a good day to check your walk.

    God calls us in so many places to be led by the Spirit and to put others before ourselves. When we love others first, we naturally make better choices about self-indulgence and about focusing on what is really important.

    In these times when we are alone and isolated, and our routines are disrupted, God can keep us from becoming weak and "using our weakness to indulge the flesh".

    Lord, help me to think of things I can do even now to serve others and to serve You. Keep my focus on the things that matter.

Read James 1:2-15. One of the greatest challenges I face is seeing the trials that I face as assets. It is through those trials – difficult and distressing as they may be – that my faith becomes stronger. In them I learn to trust in God’s providence and His promises. So today, instead of grumbling or bemoaning, I want to ask:   “God, what can I learn today? How can I grow?”

Read John 15:1-17. The phrase from this passage that stands out the most to me is found in verse 15: “I no longer call you servants … instead I have called you friends.” This speaks to me of a different kind of God – a God who desires a relational connection to each of us. That echoes throughout the passage, of course, with the imagery of branches connected to the vine. But to be considered a friend of Jesus is a far more intimate image for me. As with any friendship, I need to cultivate that friendship, spending time with Him, talking to Him, listening to Him. That’s my goal today.

Read Proverbs 3:5-6. Some of the greatest wisdom is found in these verses. And some of the greatest understanding comes out of reflecting upon the question: How am I to trust God in the midst of uncertainty? How am I to completely and fully depend, not upon myself, but on the provision, the peace, and the protection of God?     How might you acknowledge God today so that the path of God might be clear for you in the days ahead?
