My lecturer talked about 'learning by doing' on friday and I was reminded how I learnt how to ride a bicycle. I was taught how to ride a bike by my sisters. The trick with riding a bike is that you climb on and then your tutor holds onto the bicycle bars and guides you until you are steady enough to ride the bicycle by yourself....The times that I hurt myself was when I tried to learn by myself or I thought that I had learnt enough to ride the bike by myself.

The same is true about our spiritual walk with God, we need the Holy Spirit to guide us and guard us as we travel along life's road...He is always near to uplift, guide and guard us into God's purpose for our lives. All we have to do is to trust and rely on Him and never let go thinking that I can make it on my own because those are the times when we end up hurting ourselves...All I have to do is study the word, meditate on it and rely on the Holy Spirit to lead us in our everday lives...
