Galatians 5:25

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.


Wow, this is a really cool verse. Once again, there is a phrase in here that I have never noticed before. The part that says, "...let us keep in step..." It makes me think of a dance. The spirit leads, and I stay in step. When that happens, it is beautiful.

    Thanks to both of you.

    I know that I have said it before, but one of my favorite things about this blog is that I have to really think about the verses that I am typing in.

    hi again!
    All the verses are wonderful (of course!) and your commentary also helps US look more closely at the Word and *meditate* on its meaning.
    I think reading different translations of the Bible is also helpful for making us scrutinize the Message, too.
    LET US NOT WANDER, but keep in step with the Holy Spirit! :-)

Jonah 2:10

And the LORD commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. (NIV) Don't you just love fresh starts. They're not always fresh, but they are a start. The God that we serve is a God of fresh starts. My mind goes to the many times that Christ reached out his hand, pulling a lame man to his feet, and saying, "...now go and sin no more." Or the woman caught in adultery, "...neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more." Only a God of grace will allow a swallowed man to repent. Praise Him.

James 3:18

Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. (NIV) Does this verse fit with the rest? It almost seems like a little addendum to the main point. If we look at it alone, it makes total sense... a peacemaker, who would sow in peace, because he is a peacemaker, will reap a harvest of righteousness. Very similar to Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount . If we look at it in the context, it still makes sense, but in the bigger picture of heavenly wisdom. Peace-making is a sign of true wisdom that is from above.
