"I say then: Walk In the spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh." (NJKV)
Paul compares the lusts of the spirit and the lusts of the flesh, and how they are completely opposite of each other.
This verse made me really think about what walking in the Spirit looks like. Paul adds, "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, Against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23).
Being led by the Spirit is a daily choice to die to our flesh and surrender to the wisdom of God. Proverbs writes that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverb 9:10). It all begins with the posture of being in awe of God. The less we wait on the fruits of God and the more we aim to know God Himself, the easier it will be to be led by the Spirit.
