Galatians 5:13-18
13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.
We are called to live on a higher plane, a higher road than those who are actively working against us. This is true in life and it is certainly true in politics. The temptation to stoop to their level and give them what we feel they deserve can be so strong. But we must resist it, because the freedom we have in Christ, in the Holy Spirit has called us to live a different way. The Spirit of the Lord is the source of all wisdom. So rather than stoop to the level of those who oppose us and even actively seek to undermine us, let’s go to the Source for wisdom, for strategy that operates within the bounds His love and redemption have set for us. Holy Spirit never lies, never fails and never loses. So every strategy He gives is winning.
