When competing in my triathlons I am not worried about what my swim speed will be at 1000 yards into the race, or how what will be my bike speed 21 miles into the bike or how hard will my run start to get at mile 5...I take the race one stroke, one pedal, and one step at a time...not worried about my previous stroke, pedal, or step...not worried about my next stroke, pedal, or step...just focused on the current stroke, pedal or step...
"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh...If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit" - Galatians 5:16, 25
"The phrases keeping in step with the Spirit and walking with the Spirit are mostly likely familiar, but do they affect your life in a practical and meaningful way? Like I said earlier, I think dwelling on God's plan for the future ofter excuses us from faithful and sacrificial living now. It tends to create a safe zone of sorts, where we can sit around and have "spiritual" conversation about what God might have planned for our lives" - Francis Chan, Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit.
