Walk in the Spirit

The idea of the Spirit held by the average church member is so vague as to be nearly nonexistent. When he thinks of the matter at all, he is likely to try to imagine a nebulous substance like a wisp of invisible smoke which is said to be present in churches and to hover over good people when they are dying.

Now how should we think of the Spirit? A full answer might well run to a dozen volumes. We can at best only point to the “gracious unction from above” and hope that the reader’s own desire may provide the necessary stimulus to urge him on to know the blessed Third Person for himself. If I read aright the record of Christian experience through the years, those who most enjoyed the power of the Spirit have had the least to say about Him by way of attempted definition. The Bible saints who walked in the Spirit never tried to explain Him. 

Spirit of God, may I never terminate thought of You and instead think rightly about You and submit to Your working in my life. Amen.
