Scripture of the Day
Romans 8:5 (NIV)
“Led By The Spirit”
Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
-------------------------------------------------
Our mind is set on what our heart desires. Every practiced sin is born in the heart. Then after the sin has become full-grown in the mind, there is death to the body (James1:15). As Christians who practice sin, we bring death to the body of CHRIST! We cannot kill the body of CHRIST, but we bring death!
I’ve heard it said, “Follow your heart!” in many situations! Does this mean “If it feels right, it’s O.K.!” If I have set in my heart to practice sin, then I follow my heart . . . then I would be living according to a sinful nature! But what if we said, “Follow the Holy Spirit” Now my sinful nature must submit to what the Spirit of the LORD says. It’s not about my feelings . . . it is about HIS truth, in accordance with the Holy Spirit! If I am led by the spirit of myself, then the desire is for my flesh to be in control! If I am led by the Spirit of GOD, then the desire is for HIM to be in full control!
Be Led By The Spirit of GOD, And Follow HIS Way!

Thank God for consistancy. It is obvious that God is leading you will being obedient to sending the SODs. I get an email SOD everyday when I get to work and it is great to start the day with scripture. I also enjoyed the half full cup sermon. Not only must we be led by the holy spirit, but we must follow with a cup full of his sufficient grace
