       Many have to learn to be in tune with God’s Spirit, to be led by him. That means to be so in tune with God’s Word that the Scriptures have input in all areas of our lives. The Bible is the filter by which we live. And this makes God’s Spirit happy. Remember what James told us, “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you” (James 4:8, ESV). As we are seeking to be pleasing to God, and seeking to have a deeper relationship with him, we then automatically get closer to him. God wants us to experience real life, and the only way we are going to do that is if we “live by the Spirit.” And by allowing God’s Word to be our filter, we try not to let anything stay present within us that we feel is dishonoring to God. Now, this doesn’t mean we are perfect by any means—far from it. As we go along our journeys, the Spirit will point out new things that need to be corrected. And we are to work on these things when he points them out, eliminating bad habits and forming good, new ones.
