In The Path To Pentecost we are investigating the truths about the Holy Spirit and His place in our life.. This investigation has to do with how we experience this path with The Holy Spirit.
The consideration has been that we are to walk "in" the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). The idea of walking "in" the Spirit is that we live in the reality or realm of the Spirit. But to give a bit more detail of this reality or realm of The Spirit Paul, gives what I think might be a bit more detail in this matter of walking in Galatians 5:18.
In Galatians 5:18 Paul uses a term to clarify this matter of walking for us; he uses the term "led." Now here is a term to help us understand what this walking "looks like." When we are walking in The Spirit we are being led by The Spirit. Being led would certainly mean that we have given control to our walking to another so as to be led.
The Path to Pentecost surely must mean that in my "walking" in The Spirit that I am being or allowing my self to be "led" by the Spirit.
Being "led" is something that we do not easily do. We generally like to be in control of our life and leadership but this is exactly what Paul is asserting. The walk with The Spirit is a walk of being "led." So, the Path to Pentecost surely means that we are "allowing" The Holy Spirit to lead us in our daily life.
REFLECT: How have you experienced being led by The Holy Spirit? What is something that you need leadership from the Holy Spirit? Would you ask The Spirit to help you recognize his leadership in this area?
