Works of the Flesh Versus Fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
My Hope
Joel 3:16
“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.”
I thank God that He is my hope. With God there is no hope. I do not understand how people can survive without Jesus Christ and the Spirit of God in their lives. I could not make it through one hour without God in my life. I would be devastated and destroyed.
God is also my strength. Many times through any day there are times when I do not have the strength to go on. Sometimes I just cannot function because of things that come against me every day (depression, physical pain, mental anguish,…). It is during those times that God’s strength carry me through.
Without my hope and faith in Him, I would not be able to make it. Thank you, Lord, for giving Your life so that I can live everyday with hope and strength of God the Father.
