ARE YOU ON GOD’S SIDE?
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters. As Christians, it is important to constantly evaluate our actions and ensure that we are aligning ourselves with God’s will. Are you on God’s side?
The Bible is filled with verses that remind us of the importance of staying faithful to God and His plan for our lives. In Galatians 5:16-17, we are reminded to
“walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.”
This verse serves as a powerful reminder that we must constantly be vigilant in our fight against the flesh and pursue God’s plan for our lives.
Defeating the flesh is no easy task. It requires discipline, self-control, and a deep reliance on God’s strength. However, the rewards of staying faithful to God far outweigh the temporary pleasures of the flesh. As Romans 8:6 reminds us,
“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.”
By choosing to pursue God’s plan for our lives, we are choosing life and peace over death and destruction.
So how can we ensure that we are on God’s side? It starts with daily prayer, reading the Bible, and seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit. By staying connected to God through these spiritual disciplines, we can be sure that we are aligning ourselves with His will. Additionally, surrounding ourselves with fellow believers who can hold us accountable and encourage us in our faith journey is crucial.
In conclusion, being on God’s side requires a conscious effort to defeat the flesh and pursue His plan for our lives. It is a daily battle that requires discipline, self-control, and a deep reliance on God’s strength. By staying faithful to God and His word, we can be sure that we are on the right path. Let us strive to walk by the Spirit and align ourselves with God’s will in all that we do.
