Simplicity - Gal. 5:16

"So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves." Gal. 5:16

Why do we as human beings complicate the simple act of living? Because the enemy knows just the right buttons to push! But if we simply work at honoring God with every decision; let his Holy Spirit direct instead of us doing all the driving (as if we even know where we are going!), the Bible tells us that the result is the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. However, if we follow our "natural " desires, it leads to everything in Gal. 5:19-21. Seems like a no-brainer, but as Neal would say, "we suck." I believe that about says it!

Lord, show me how to let go and REALLY let you!
