Galatians 5:16-18

I’ve made mention over this last week how it’s important to pay attention to all parts of our being. It’s so important to look after our physical, spiritual, and intellectual health. I’ve talked about how when one part is not healthy, it affects other parts of our being. Today I want to address spiritual health. To be spiritually healthy we must also be physically healthy and intellectually healthy as best we can – realizing that some of us may have limits in both these areas.

When we are talking about spiritual health it truly is about us moving closer to God. When we are feeding on God’s Word, spending time in worship and prayer, we are drawing closer to God. When you stop moving closer to God you no longer are listening to His voice – the Holy Spirit. He gives guidance and direction and the strength to live the life Christ calls us to live.

Galatians 5:16-18 (NIV) So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Spending time with God is how we become more like Him. It’s how we know God’s plan for our individual lives and helps us to be conscious of those around us whom God is leading us to minister to. Staying in step with the Holy Spirit enables you to live the life God has called you to live. Our lives as Christians are about two things, loving God and loving others. When we take care of our entire being, we grow into the men and women of God He needs us to be to accomplish His work in His kingdom.
