Romans 8:9
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,they do not belong to Christ.
Do you ask the Lord daily to fill you up with His spirit? Our walk with Christ is ongoing and constant and should never be at a stand still. He may ask us to be still and know He is God (Psalm 46:10) but He is not telling us to be still in hope, faith, love, prayer and reading His Word. In fact we must instill these acts in our life each and every day. Each day is a anew and will come with its own set of challenges and blessings and the best way to stay consistent is to ask Him each day to fill us up so that we can walk in His spirit of love and truth and carry that throughout our day. It is extremely difficult to work in the world and in a secular environment with people's jokes, language, beliefs, stories and actions when they are not what you want to be subjected to but we must if we want to provide for our families. We are to influence them, not be influenced by them. I have shared before that when I was in a worldly work environment I would not hesitate to say Praise God or tell someone it was not Jesus' fault they were having a bad day so don't take their anger out on Him by using His name in vain. I would also pose challenging questions to other believers when they would boast of their high sales. The Lord would prompt me to ask them if they tithed, knowing full well He already knew the answer. But I will say in all my years I never once had anyone get offended or get angry with me for the way I shared my faith or stood up for my beliefs. In fact I was highly respected for it so I know it can be done balanced with God's grace. And that is what you can do for yourself each morning when you wake up...give the day to the Him for this is the day He has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it ; ask Him to walk with you through your day; ask to be used by Him daily and ask Him to fill you up and be baptized by the Holy Spirit so that you carry out His work in you during your day. I promise you will notice a difference in yourself. Your days will be less stressed and more peaceful. You will find yourself relaxed and joyful while carrying yourself differently. If you want to succeed in your walk with God and truly make a difference and not fall off the narrow path, practice this each and every day. And may the power of our living God bestow upon you His mercy and His grace as you seek His face.
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16
