Scripture and Comment for Tuesday the 2nd of July:
Keep walking by spirit and you will carry out no fleshly desire at all. —Gal. 5:16. If we find that our mind pushes us toward materialistic thinking or fleshly desires, we should not give up. Keep asking for the spirit, and Jehovah will help you to redirect your mental attitude to focus on proper things. (Luke 11:13)
Remember the apostle Peter. Several times in his life, he did not respond as a spiritual man should. (Matt. 16:22, 23; Luke 22:34, 54-62; Gal. 2:11-14) But he did not give up.
Gradually, with Jehovah’s help, Peter developed Christlike thinking.
We can do the same. Peter, in fact, later spelled out specific things we
can work on. (2 Pet. 1:5-8) As we “put forth all earnest effort” to develop such qualities as self-control, endurance, and brotherly affection, we will be helped to continue to
move ahead as spiritually-minded individuals. Each day, why not ask
yourself, What can I work on today to progress spiritually? 'w1 8.02 25-26 ˚12-13 @Gary Thanks for all you do,
