Who are you in step with?

God has an easier way, being led by the Holy Spirit.

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25 ESV)

Walking my dogs can get us into knots. Sammy, pictured left, likes to walk before me on the left. Brady always walks on the right side of Sammy. Why? Sammy lifts his left leg to pee at random times.

No warning.

Ever.

Lift and pee.

No other training would have taught Brady so quickly to stay to Sammy’s right.

Brady occasionally loops behind my legs, coming up to my right, his lead draped behind my legs. This is the perfect positioning for an accident should he decide to run, pulling me forward.

If Brady remains in his forward right position, with Sammy to the left, we can have a relaxing walk taking in sights, sounds, and smells.

This is the easier way.

God, too, has an easier way, being led by the Holy Spirit.

Choosing the guidance of the Holy Spirit may sound like you don’t have control. Rather, it is realizing that God directs the Holy Spirit in everything true and right.

Jesus left for us the Holy Spirit to help us at any time. Scripture tells us the Holy Spirit does only what God wills. Does that sound like another scripture about every good and perfect gift is from above?

If the Holy Spirit will only provide to us what is God’s perfect will, I think he would be the perfect walking partner today and every day.

Is there a space in your life you can lean in and trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit a little more?

God, I am sorry when I get tied up in my plans. May I seek first your perfect wisdom and guidance through the Holy Spirit in all I do.

Amen.

Until next week, Keep Walking on Mustard Seeds,
