       Much discussion has been given in regard to the Holy Spirit’s leading of the Christian. I think that the best way to understand how the Spirit of God leads us is to look at the Word of God. And, so, we are going to do that. Turn with me in your Bibles, or tap in your Bible apps on your mobile devices, and let’s go to Galatians chapter 5, and today, specifically, I want us to focus on verses 16 through 18. Really, the rest of chapter 5 here, starting in verse 16, is relevant to this discussion, but we do not have the time to cover all of it today. So, starting in verse 16, the text reads: “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law” (Galatians 5:16-18, ESV). So, Paul notes here we are to “walk by the Spirit.” Our walking in our lives consists of the things we do on a daily basis, in the most basic sense, right?
