Every day on Facebook I see where people take insanely crazy tests. “Take this test to see which flower you would be if you had been a flower.” “Which character in The Seven Dwarfs are you?” I’m not sure why anyone would really care about those things, but I was recently challenged to take a quiz that has real value.
In my husband’s message yesterday on Knowing the Will of God, he mentioned that part of God’s will for us first of all to be saved. God then desires that we walk in the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18-33 Here’s the test to know whether or not you’re walking in the Spirit :
Are you joyful? Verse 19a
Are you meditative? Verse 19b 
Are you thankful? Verse 20 
Are you submissive? Verse 22
Are you loving? Verse 25
Are you respectful? Verse 33
If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” then confess your sin and get back in fellowship so you can once again be walking in the Spirit.
It’s also God’s will for us to be sanctified, to suffer for Him, and submit to Him. When we are doing all these things we can make a decision and know that it will be in His will. Wow, does that simplify knowing God’s will, or what? Walking in the Spirit is key.
Maybe someone should create a new quiz for Facebook: Are You Walking in the Spirit? Oh, it’s already written – see Ephesians 5. =)
