SWIFT Weekly Meditation: I wanted to leave you with one final thought as we close out SWIFT for the summer. I find it extremely amusing that God called me to lead an early morning walking group. I am not an early morning person, especially in the summer. So, again, I am amused that He wanted to me lead a group early in the morning...albeit a walking in the Texas heat morning group. He sure is hilarious. What I learned during this time, is that I have to work really hard to walk in spirit rather than in flesh. Flesh says, stay in bed. Flesh says, whats the point? Flesh says, you know you want THIS more than THAT. Flesh screams and yells and hollers so loud at every turn. Whether its committing to a healthier lifestyle through diet and exercise, bridling a tongue full of anger, or battling an addiction, the spirit is willing but our flesh is so weak. It seems like an uphill battle, a war waging inside of us between good and evil. I cant say Ive overcome my personal struggles, but I can tell you that its only going to be done one step at a time. My flesh is weak, but His spirit within me is strong. With each step I take, He whispers, dont fear, daughter, I have overcome the world! Trust, believe, and walk with Him.
