Your way. ( Psalm 119 v 1 - 8 )

Lets think about being,' led by the Spirit,' ( Galatians 5 v 18) and,'walking in the Spirit', ( v 16),,John Stott puts it like this, ''It is the Spirit who does the leading, but we do the walking''.Consider the Spirit and the word of God, will always work in harmony, they will never contradict each other. The believers in Galatians were being fooled to walk contrary to Gods revealed word,it was not the Spirit that was leading them.Let us remember there is only one word of God, never forget this, do not be fooled to think otherwise,and to act contrary to Gods word,if you do you will regret it.In Psalm 119 v 105, we read, 'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path'. Make no mistake if we forsake Gods word we will stumble in the dark, we will loose our way. There must  be an obedience to the word of God at all times,when the prophet disobeyed Gods word ,he was slain by a lion (  1 Kings 13 )When Lots wife disobeyed Gods word she was turned into a pillar of  salt (Genesis 19) ,when Jonah disobeyed Gods word he was swallowed by a great fish  (Jonah 1 )The Christian life is not a passive life, it is ,each day, a walk, in the Spirits, according to Gods  will ,as revealed in His word.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 '' The Christian can never say or                                                                                                                  sing ,I done it my way.''
