Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Galatians 5
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
A heart that is prepared, understanding, rooted, and focused will bear fruit through the Spirit’s work. These qualities—love, joy, peace, and more—are not just ideals; they are the natural outcome of a life surrendered to Christ. They bless others and bring glory to God.
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Holy Spirit, shape me to reflect Your fruit in every part of my life. Help me live in step with You each day.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
- Choose one fruit of the Spirit to intentionally practice today.
- Ask someone close to you where they see fruit in your life—and where you might grow.
