Walk in the Spirit.

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit,” Galatians 5

“In Scripture, to live and act or behave; to pursue a particular course of life.
To walk with God, to live in obedience to his commands, and have communion with him. Gen 5.
To walk after the Spirit, to be guided by the counsels and influences of the Spirit and by the word of God, and to live a life of holy deportment.” Webster’s 1828

“To be ‘present with the Lord’ is to have, not mere emotional ecstasy or faith, but the actual demonstration and understanding of Life as revealed in Christian Science. To be ‘with the Lord’ is to be in obedience to the law of God,” Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, page 14

I am grateful for this week’s Lesson which gave me fuller sense of the biblical principle of walking “in the Spirit’ as being the daily demonstration of Christian Science. When I walk I need to know the way, look where I am walking, use the directions I have been given, and keeping moving in the light I have. Each has their own place on the path and same access to God’s guidance, dominion, and support.

Thank you for your post. I would like to add some thoughts from John Morgan’s “Some Notes on True Vision”. He says with regard to the synonym Spirit, “Through Spirit I see all things rightly, clearly, correctly, distinctly, spiritually. This gives me discernment, so that I differentiate between one idea and another, also between true and false…The clear sight of Spirit does not blind me to faults and errors. Rather I detect them more clearly-but as unrealities. I discern only the good and the true to be real, and so my eye is single…It is Spirit that does the seeing, not flesh, and the senses of Spirit are indestructible and perfect. My outlook is always positive, never negative because my vision is spiritual.” Is this not also being ‘present with the Lord’ and ‘walking in the Spirit’?

I am also grateful for this lesson on how to walk in the Spirit.
