But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God). Galatians 5:16 Amp.
I don’t know where I got this chart, but I wrote it in my Bible and it seems appropriate to meditate on today as I reflect on how many fears, anxieties, and worries result from living in the flesh.
Life in the Flesh Life in the Spirit
My will be done. ← Core Attitude→ Thy will be done.
I expect good things. ←Core Hope→ I expect to become like Jesus.
I will do it. ←Core Strategy→ I trust God.
I must get it right. ← Core Experience→ I celebrate God’s glory.
I live to be blessed. ←Core Passion→ I live to know Christ.
My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God’s Spirit. Then you won’t feed the compulsions of selfishness. Galatians 5:16 Message
