Walking with the Spirit

Find the latest WNZR COVID-19 updates here

Today we shared an encouraging devotional from Peter Chin about walking with the Holy Spirit, even when we face tough times.

Ten thousand hours. That’s how long author Malcolm Gladwell suggests it takes to become skillful at any craft. Even for the greatest artists and musicians of all time, their tremendous inborn talent wasn’t enough to achieve the level of expertise that they would eventually attain. They needed to immerse themselves in their craft every single day.

Chin writes that we need a similar mentality when it comes to learning to live in the power of the Holy Spirit. In Galatians, Paul encourages the church to be set apart for God. But Paul explained that this couldn’t be achieved through merely obeying a set of rules. Instead we’re called to walk with the Holy Spirit. The Greek word that Paul uses for “walk” in Galatians 5:16 literally means to walk around and around something, or to journey (peripateo). So for Paul, walking with the Spirit meant journeying with the Spirit each day—it’s not just a one-time experience of His power.

May we pray to be filled with the Spirit daily—to yield to the Spirit’s work as He counsels, guides, comforts, and is simply there with us. And as we’re “led by the Spirit” in this way (v. 18), we become better and better at hearing His voice and following His leading. Holy Spirit, may I walk with You today, and every day!

Is relaxing ridiculous?

Today for our Monday Motivation, I’m sharing a devotional from Monica Brands about the challenge of relaxing in the unknown. I believe many of us are wrestling with this in our current situation. How can we relax? Is it ridiculous to even ask that of ourselves…or others?

Here’s the link to the devotional from Our Daily Bread, “You Have to Relax!”

Our prayer: God, help us to surrender our desperate attempts at control and let go of the burdens we weren’t meant to bear, to find rest in Your grace and goodness.

Today’s Mystery Monday question, Family Feud-style:
100 people surveyed, top 6 answers on the board –
Name something in your house with four legs.

the top answers:
1. Table
2. Pet
3. Chair
4. Bed
5. Insect
6. Couch

The power of song

Today our devotional time reminds of the strength that comes from singing…that songs of praise can be our response in times of uncertainty and trouble. Here’s the link from Our Daily Bread to Patricia Raybon’s reminder that we are “Strengthened in Song”:

Psalm 59:1, 14-17
Deliver me from my enemies, O God;
    be my fortress against those who are attacking me.

They return at evening,
    snarling like dogs,
    and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food
    and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your strength,
    in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
    my refuge in times of trouble.

17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
    you, God, are my fortress,
    my God on whom I can rely.
