Walking With The Spirit

 My devotional time today was in Galations chapter 3.



¹ You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. ² I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? ³ Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?^{[a] 4} Have you experienced^[b] so much in vain—if it really was in vain? ⁵ So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?

I don't know about you, but these last few months I've been exhausted.  I feel like I just get things done and it's time to begin the new tasks that lay ahead.  Meanwhile, my devotional time has suffered...I feel farther away from where I want to be.  I can never seem to get enough work completed; the more I do the more I need to do.  The projects just keep getting bigger.

Yet, not once did I ask my Heavenly Father about it.  I didn't ask him about His plans for me and I didn't ask for His help.  My day would be much better when complimented with His Spirit rather than my own works.  What have I been thinking?!

Each Sunday, I look at the calendar for the wee and inform the family of our plans.  I think I must to this to God, too.  Realizing the error of my ways, I need to rise and ask Him what His plans are for me this day.  I need to thank Him for all things.  I also need to stop meeting the demands of man (myself included) and meet the demands of my Lord. 

Enough Said!
