God's Word for Tuesday, 1/16/18

My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God’s Spirit. Then you won’t feed the compulsions of selfishness. For there is a root of sinful self-interest in us that is at odds with a free spirit, just as the free spirit is incompatible with selfishness. These two ways of life are antithetical, so that you cannot live at times one way and at times another way according to how you feel on any given day. Why don’t you choose to be led by the Spirit and so escape the erratic compulsions of a law-dominated existence?
Galatians 5:16 MSG

For some reason, 'free spirit' makes me think of the 60s and the time America took a turn for the worst.

Thanks for the post, Reverend.

I understand the connotation, Linda. Thank the Lord that that isn't what He's talking about! :)

Amen to that, Reverend!
