Galatians 4

Galatians 4:4-7 “But when the right time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, subject to the law.  God sent Him to bring freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that He could adopt us as His very own children.  And because we are His children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”  Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child.  And since you are His child, God has made you His heir.”

We need to remember that we are God’s children and need to listen to that Spirit in our hearts.  So many times we hear or feel the Spirit but because it might not be what we want we follow the world.  We can’t think lightly of what Jesus did, we need to understand that His act was for us not Himself.  He suffered and died on the cross so we can have freedom through Him.  He gave us the best example to follow and filled us with the Spirit so we have a guide.  All we need to do is surrender and learn and live our lives following Christ’s lead then we will have peace and joy that we can’t get from this world.  We need to have the excitement for Christ that we have for other things and realize there is nothing better or more satisfying.  The Lord is all we need so we need to fill our hearts and minds with what God shows us in His word and be willing to be a light by living it out.  Amen
