The following is from Billy Graham's devotional Unto the Hills:
"To walk in the Spirit is a challenging and inspiring exercise, for it combines activity with relaxation.
"To walk means to place one foot in front of the other. If you stop doing this, you are no longer walking--you are standing still. Walking always implies movement, progress, and direction.
"Living for Christ is a day-to-day going on with Him. It is a continuous dependence upon the Spirit of God. It is believing in His faithfulness. You cannot live the Christian life by yourself. The Holy Spirit must live in you and express Himself through you.
"Sin will no longer rule or dominate you if you are allowing the Holy Spirit to live Christ's life through you. It is living by faith, living by trust, living in dependence upon God.
"If we look to our own resources, our own strength, or our own ability as Peter did when he walked on the water, we will fail.
"The first key for usefulness and power for Christians today is humility. The second is the realization that sanctification is only in Christ. The third is reliance on the Holy Spirit."
