Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

What should you do when you’re in a desperate circumstance? Listen to this lesson to see that first we should take our problem to the Lord. David shows us how we are to focus on God rather than our problems. See what it means that God is good and how we can taste and see that He is good. Learn what it means to bless God which is parallel to praising God. If you want to have joy instead of fear in life, praising God and hearing how He has the solution to all our problems is the answer.
