22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
My tight connection to the Spirit is required to reap these fruits and avoid listening to the natural desires of the flesh which we are told are contrary to the Spirit. So one way to build my connection is to get into the Word which I think this past year we have been working on together. But something I need to do but don't do a lot is spend time in prayer, my time seems to be fleeting moments--so I have a to do.
I couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteThe spending time reading the bible has been a REALLY good thing for me. But, some days it almost seems sterile and academic. I need to spend more time in relationship with God.....and you are 100% right. That comes through prayer. Its easier for me to find 15 minutes to read a chapter on my smart-phone and have some quick reflection, than it is for me to find a quiet room and spend time with God......
TO DO:
I'll let you know how I'm doin with it, and you do the same.
agreed!
