The Divine Rule
Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.


Keep the spiritual nature uppermost. Give the spiritual man the advantage. Settle every account in the Spirit's favour. It will not make everything convenient, or merry, or prosperous. There may be mistakes of judgment; life may seem like a strain of bad music pitched to a minor key; your ideals may not be attained. Never mind that. The voice rings out over all the contradictions and ruins, "This I say then, walk in the Spirit." "To be spiritually minded is life and peace" — life now and peace at last.

(Bp. Huntington.)
