Yes!
When I was little I can remember trying to keep my steps aligned with my dad when we would go somewhere. His steps were much bigger than mine, but my short little legs worked hard to keep up. I learned his rhythm & tried to predict his next step. I had to walk very close to him to do this. The better I knew my dads steps the better I was at keeping in step with him.
In order for us to grow in our knowledge & understanding of Christ, we must keep in step with the Spirit.
What does this look like?
✝️Creating daily habits of prayer & Bible study.
✝️ Practicing a pause before speaking, acting, deciding. Give the Spirit a quiet heart to speak to.
✝️ Know & memorize the Word of God. So often we fall out of step with the Spirit because we do not know the Word well enough.
✝️ Worship. Worship in song, in prayer, throughout your day. Worship is our best weapon against distractions that draw us away from the Spirit.
May we be intentional in our walk with the Spirit and keep in close step with him.
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.”
Galatians 5:16, 25 ESV

Via Dana Katana:
A few years ago I learned that someone did not care for me based on the lies they were told by someone else. They tried to damage our reputation and spoke bad about us to people in our circle. It hurt at the time - I’m human
.
.
.
I worked through it, grew myself, stayed the course, and continued to build my business with integrity
.
.
.
Today I learned that this individual is still speaking negatively about me. Today it didn’t hurt. I realize it’s a her issue and not a me issue. I took the stones and built a mountain of success
.

Most people don’t like themselves - don’t worry when they don’t like you. The fruits you bear will be the result of your heart and character....let your success speak for itself 🏆

Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah was a priest in the territory of Benjamin. And God chose him to be a prophet to Israel and other countries.
In Jeremiah 1:4-10 (CEV), it is recorded what God said to him:
"4 The Lord said:
5 “Jeremiah, I am your Creator,
and before you were born,
I chose you to speak for me
to the nations.”
6 I replied, “I’m not a good speaker, Lord, and I’m too young.”
7 “Don’t say you’re too young,” the Lord answered. “If I tell you to go and speak to someone, then go! And when I tell you what to say, don’t leave out a word! 8 I promise to be with you and keep you safe, so don’t be afraid.”
9 The Lord reached out his hand, then he touched my mouth and said, “I am giving you the words to say, 10 and I am sending you with authority to speak to the nations for me. You will tell them of doom and destruction, and of rising and rebuilding again.”
When God chose Moses as the one to lead the Jews out of Egypt, Moses complained about the burden of speaking. So God gave Moses Aaron as a spokesperson! No such luck for Jeremiah!!
Are you reluctant to speak out for God? So were some of the people God chose as prophets! We're not prophets like Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel - but God promises to be with us when we give witness to all He has done! Rest comfortably in His arms!!
