Thought for the Week
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God (Romans 8:12-14, ESV).
God’s Spirit leads all of God’s sons and daughters. The question is: Are you following His lead or choosing to go your own way?
Please, trust the Holy Spirit enough to follow His lead, and let Him assist you to really live without sin tripping you up. Or as the text puts it: let the Spirit help you “put to death the deeds of the body.”
In a post on Facebook, Emily Clarke wrote that she and her husband “encountered one of the most severe storms” while driving through North Queensland, Australia, saying that a truck driver helped them safely through it:
“The water was lapping both sides of the highway,” she wrote, “and in some parts, it was over the road. We noticed a (semi-trailer) truck moving over to the left ahead of us. I asked (my husband), do you think he is pushing the excess water off the road for us? It was so bad that I could see only his brake lights at one point. It was unsafe to stop so I tucked in behind the truck and he guided me, braking frequently and putting his indicator on the side that there was an upcoming hazard.”
She said she had a sick feeling that if they stopped on the road, even to let her husband drive, they would be in more danger, so they followed the truck until he turned off at a pub just before Mackay. She wrote:
“My husband got out of the car and met him as he got out of his truck to thank him. His name is Footie and he is from Melbourne, and just so humble. We thanked him from the bottom of our hearts for helping keep us safe.
“Footie told us, ‘I could see more than you, and if you were my family, I would only hope that another truck driver would do that for you’” (Melanie Vujkovic, “Facebook post thanking truckie for guiding couple through north Queensland rain goes viral,” ABC Australia, 12-15-18).
Like Emily and her husband followed that truck, follow the Holy Spirit’s lead, who directs you around life’s hazards and keeps you safe until you reach your destination. Spend time in His Word and let it guide you through this dangerous world into His glorious presence.

News!
Celebrate Recovery, 6:30 p.m., every Monday at Kings Cross Church (former Presbyterian Church on 221 South Pioneer Street, Lyons, KS). Celebrate Recovery is a safe place to find freedom from your hurts, hang-ups, and habits. Celebrate Recovery is for EVERYONE! No one should have to face their pain alone. We are a grace-filled community of strugglers who courageously enter this safe and beautiful space to get honest about our pain and the negative ways we may see ourselves, God, and others. In this process, we come to accept that some of the habits we have developed to escape our pain may have hurt us and those close to us. It is a biblically based approach to help us achieve long lasting recovery by healing our hurts, guiding us toward new healthy truths, and developing life-giving habits.
Men of Faith meets at 6:45 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. every Tuesday morning in the lobby at Faith Bible Church. "As iron sharpens iron," men are invited to sharpen one another in the middle of each week before work during a time of mutual encouragement, Bible study, and prayer (coffee provided).
