Keep In Step

I thought I share something funny but at the same time not so funny - I stepped on a thumb-tack this afternoon. I was barefooted and the small little metal object nicked me just at the sole of my right foot. Haha. Thank God it was not rusty. I basically used a bit of antiseptic to clean the wound and went on with what I was doing.

I was careless hence my lack of observation of the thumb-tack. I guess this can be paralleled to that of our lives - that if our walk with the Lord is not in step, not only will we go off-tangent but we will probably stepped on something sharp or tripped over something big which will make us fall.

Some of the lapses would be the way we view our lives; our pursuits of materialism; the words we use; the way we treat others; going against what the Word of God encourages us to do; self-centeredness; pride; discrimination; etc.

Well, let us keep in step with the Spirit and all should be fine. :)

"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." Galatians 5:25
