I just used a song relating to verses 22 and 25 for our welcome song last Sunday... Keeping in step with the Spirit means that I should really strive hard to be sensitive to its call and resist the wants of my flesh... It will be a lot easier if someone would encourage me.... Sometimes I envy those brothers who are the only contact of their BS leader because every aspect of their lives are closely monitored and cared for by their leader. In an instant, they've gained a second parent, an adviser, an encourager, and a friend without much effort. Now that I am a leader and my leader is a leader of leaders, I understand that I would not experience such luxury. I always am the "pursuer" instead of the "pursued"... Sometimes I long to be pursued because I don't recall of any instance that anyone ever pursued me. When I came to LB, my uncle became my BS leader... So no pursuing was needed...
However, this is just one of the things my flesh longs for... The Spirit instead prompts me to develop and nurture the Fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control... Lord, teach me how to find encouragement in all things so that I won't need verbs or adjectives from the mouths of other people to keep the flame burning...
