Fruit of the SpiritSample

There are some beautiful places in the world to explore. In Tasmania, that little triangular island at the bottom of Australia, there’s a hiking track called the Overland Track. This isn’t just your regular bush walk; it takes six days to trek from the start to the end.

There are no hotels or cafés along the way. You have to carry everything you’ll need for the whole six days in a big 18kg (39 lbs) heavy backpack. You carry your tent, sleeping bag, clothes and all your food.

On our journey of life, our life with Jesus, we need to have the right things with us. God gives us what we need for our life with Jesus. He gives us the Holy Spirit to be our guide, His Word to light our path and He gives us the armour of God, the fruit of the Spirit and spiritual gifts!

Let’s look at the spiritual fruit of ‘Peace’. Peace is knowing God will take care of you. Even in troubled times we can have peace. We don’t need to worry! It doesn’t make sense that we can have peace even though things around us seem to be falling apart. But that’s the peace that the Holy Spirit gives us.
