In Touch Devotional 5 May 2022 – Thursday | Dr Charles Stanley

Read and Meditate on Today’s Dr Charles Stanley’s In Touch Daily Devotional for Thursday 5th May 2022. May the Almighty God bless you as you study!

IN TOUCH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 5 MAY 2022 THURSDAY

TODAY’S TOPIC: IMPOSSIBLE LOVE MADE POSSIBLE
Only the Holy Spirit can enable us to fulfill God’s two greatest commandments.

CHARLES STANLEY DEVOTIONAL MAY 5, 2022

Scripture: Galatians 5:13-23

Jesus said the two greatest commandments are these: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind” and “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39). What an overwhelming assignment!

In our own strength, we will find success out of reach, but the Lord has provided a way for Christians to accomplish the impossible. The indwelling Holy Spirit works to produce His fruit in us (Gal. 5:22-23). The first quality listed is love, and the remaining eight are actually descriptions of how it is conveyed.

Love isn’t produced by trying harder to muster good will toward someone who is irritating or hard to get along with. Instead, think of the process more like sap running through a branch on a grapevine. In a similar way, the Spirit flows through us, producing God’s love so we can express it to Him and to others.

Whenever we demonstrate kindness, patience, or gentleness, it’s God’s doing, not ours. Even the adoration we offer Him isn’t something we produce in our own heart apart from His assistance. Though the command to love is enormous, God’s grace makes it possible.

Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 13-15
