S - Galatians 5:16 - But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 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. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
O - My child whom I love, today I want to tell you . . . live by the Spirit. Walk in the Spirit. Trust in the Spirit. Flee from the things of the flesh. Do not be drawn in by the lure of the temptation of the flesh. If you will strife to walk in the fruit of the Spirit and dwell on them daily, you will be strong enough to fight off the evil one's temptations.
A - I will continue to dwell on the fruit of the Spirit and make them my daily desire. If I am living my life to glorify my Lord then I want those things to be the outward, and inward results of my life.
P - Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times when I exhibit the works of the flesh. Forgive me for not constantly dwelling on the fruits of the Spirit. Help me to make those things the fruits of my life.
