Galatians 5:25-26 (NKJV) 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Envy and conceit are things that even we Christians have to deal with at times. Just because we have the Spirit of God living in us doesn’t mean we will not have to deal with our flesh. Our flesh is ALWAYS there. We just have to learn how to deal with it when it rears its ugly head.
Learning to walk in the Spirit will take time, teaching our flesh to get used to changing things up and listening, instead of just doing what we usually do.
Keeping the flesh in line with God’s Spirit can be tiring at times, especially when we’re first starting to learn this new way of living. If we’re not careful, it can wear us out, causing us to give up easily and give in to those fleshly desires.
But God is with us even when we are tired. He will help us and give us rest as we lean on Him for guidance, strength and wisdom to do the right thing at the right time.
Exodus 33:14 (NKJV) 14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
If we are feeling tired today, constantly fighting the flesh, we need to remember that God’s presence is there with us. Lean on Him. Talk to Him and let Him know. He will help us get victory over the flesh.
Sometimes we have to make adjustments. But whatever they may be, follow His steps.
And we need to always remember that changing the flesh doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. But over time we will grow and learn how to walk in the Spirit and deal with the flesh when needed.
