Practice God's Presence

Practicing God's presence makes you less likely to give in to sin.

READ: Galatians 5:13-17. What does it mean to “live by the Spirit?” Picture yourself doing everything you do with Jesus at your side. He's actually in your heart, but picture Him at your side. When you go to the movies, He's sitting next to you. When you talk with friends, He's in on the conversation. When you read, He's looking over your shoulder. When you're driving, He's the passenger. Wouldn't that affect your choices and general behavior? Sometimes we're most tempted when we think no one's watching. However, the next time you think no one's watching, think again.

PRAY: Dear Jesus, help me to practice Your presence today. Amen.
