Paul
says in Galatians 5:25 “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with
the Spirit.” How do we stay in step with how the Spirit is leading
us as a people?
The
danger is if we do not take the time to seek God, to hear from God, to
understand what God is doing here and now, then we run the risk of falling
behind or heading off course or simply going through the motions. So we must do the hard work of seeking God so
that we can confidently move forward in step with the Holy Spirit.
Jesus
gave the church the foundational mission: to go into the world and make
disciples. Many times we have good intentions about helping others experience
the truth and hope of Jesus and commit their lives to him. But there is a
massive difference between good intentions and being intentional: One is
wishful thinking, the other makes a difference. We
are called to be intentional in living out God’s mission - each and every one
of us – every day of our lives.
Amen?
