In today’s can seem almost impossible to live in God’s grace and walk uprightly. The news is full of all sorts of reports that point to a world that is confused and that seems to keep normalizing sin. It can be overwhelming.
In the course of one’s walk, it can seem like the easiest thing to do is to fit it. To blend in and to live like the world does. Without relying on the Holy Spirit, it will indeed be difficult. As Christians we should remember that God empowers us to become his sons. He provides the capacity, the power, within us to live according to his standards. He also provides us with his Holy Spirit who dwells within us and guides us on our walk, very closely.
If we keep our hearts on him, study his word, keep the company of other sound Christians, pray regularly and rely on the Holy Spirit, we will be able to walk victoriously, in this world.
Bible Verses to Meditate On

- (Ephesians 1:13 KJV) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
- (John 16:33 KJV) These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
