Strategy #4: Keep Walking The same way we receive Christ is the same way we are supposed to live each day of our life–in total, complete dependence on Him. Grace is like light. But what we tend to do a lot of the time is fight with darkness, when all we need to do is just run to the light. Whats the purpose of gathering in the dark, banging into each other, struggling with the darkness and trying to punch it out, when all we have to do is turn on a switch? The minute the light comes on, it swallows up the darkness. Too often we struggle with ourselves and our weaknesses, trying to change, spending time being mad about things in our life. But what we really need to do is just get more light into the situation. Galatians 5:16 urges us to walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit...then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh.... Notice how it doesnt say conquer the flesh so you can walk in the Spirit. What we need to do is walk in the Spirit. When we concentrate on walking in the Spirit, we wont fulfill the lust of the flesh because we will be focused on God, His goodness, our relationship with Him, and His love for us. Other things will just dissipate because of the power of God in our life. Grace is power–plain and simple. Its the power of God available to us in whatever amount we need. By Joyce Meyer
