Fruit (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Fruit                                                                                          Day 7

Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths.
Psalm 25:4

The influence of peers on a young person is often strong. For instance, when a teenager begins to associate with a positive or negative group of peers, he or she often begins to dress and use similar language as those in the group. This effect is not exclusive to teens.

Many adults seek acceptance by becoming members of and attending particular churches, social clubs, and charitable organizations, because they want to be associated with certain people. Current trends or styles may influence what we choose to wear or where we decide to eat. We may even allow political affiliations and public opinion to guide our thoughts, even if contrary to the ways of Christ. Instead of being like others, let us ask for God to show us His ways and teach them to us.

Who and what is popular will change. Styles and cultures will fluctuate. However, God’s Word is eternal and solid. What we desire nor what our friends believe will always be the same as God’s ways. However, let us ask for God to reveal to us His eternal ways. Let us learn His ways so that we will not be led astray.
