Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters for you to vote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you good morning you guys morning indeed we're picking up with day

two of our confidence in our Lord devotional in the Bible app there's a link to that in the

description if you guys want to fall along with us and as always I'm going to read the scripture

then Tori is going to pick it with the divo let's do it the scripture is Galatians chapter 5

verse 25 and it says this since we are living by the spirit let us follow the spirits leading in

every part of our lives the devotional is titled live to honor and glorify God and it says this

there is a dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde struggle in all of us no matter how much dr. Jekyll tried to do

good his alter ego mr. Hyde would make a mess of things dr. Jekyll knew what path he wanted to

take in his life and mr. Hyde derailed his course time after time how frustrating it was for him

in this struggle each of us has been set free from the overlord of our sinful nature by Christ's

sacrifice we were dead in our sins but Christ made us alive through the holy spirit we are no longer

slaves to sin but free to walk in righteousness this sounds good but what is the reality no matter

how hard we try to walk step in step with the spirit we continue to sin now can you begin to see

the dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde struggle before you throw up your hands and exasperation remember

what it means to walk in line with the spirit we live by the holy spirit who constantly brings us

back to Jesus in his sacrifice the holy spirit continues to cover us in the righteous robes of

Jesus which he earned for us and gave us in our baptism our injury into heaven does not depend

on how well we walk in step with the spirit but on Christ and him alone this is what sets us free

to throw off the guilt and shame of our failures we have already won in Christ this is what living by

the spirit means in our daily walk in life this is the confidence we have as we walk in line with

the spirit there is no more dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde struggle you live by the spirit and you will
