¹⁶ I say, then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16 SCB)

There is this continual struggle between the flesh and the spirit. A constant battle between our minds and our soul. The flesh, though, is fallen and cannot be trusted.

Thus, we must strive to walk by the Spirit daily. Now, our scripture is speaking of the Holy Spirit, which in turn should be how we are building our spirit. For when our spirit is in tune with The Spirit then we can work to overcome the flesh.

Speaking of the Spirit is one thing that I feel that many have difficulty grasping. They understand the concept of God and they accept the Son’s salvation on the cross, but the Spirit is harder to grasp.

Yet, this should not be so. We feel the Spirit nudging us on a daily basis. Admonishing us when we are straying into wrong thoughts or actions and giving us comfort and guidance.

He is an ever-present helper.
