Scripture:
“So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.” Romans 8:6 NLT
Observation:
Paul is writing to the Romans here and tells them that being controlled by the sinful nature bring about death, but letting the Spirit control your mind bring life and peace. Death, or life and peace?
Application:
We have a choice in the matter. We can be led by our flesh or by the Holy Spirit. Being led by something implies that you are following that thing. No matter where it leads, I have the choice to follow. I choose to follow what leads to life and peace instead of what leads to death and destruction. Following the Spirit is an incredible journey through life, but following our sinful desires leads to unhappy, unfruitful, lives. I choose to be led by the Spirit of God.
Prayer:
Lord God, let me be led continually by Your Spirit. When my flesh wants to be in the driver’s seat, help me kick him out and turn the wheel back to You. Let me live in life and peace, not death and destruction. I am Yours and want to demonstrate Your goodness to the world.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
