Trinkets for Gold

Those of the Spirit walk in the Spirit and those of the flesh, the flesh.  (Romans 8:somewhere)

I wonder about this verse.  If I have the Spirit, why do I find myself walking so much in the flesh?  Why do I worry about money, work, relationships and the moral meltdown of our country?

I am surrounded by the Gold of God's kingdom and I focus on the trinkets.

How do I walk in the Spirit?  Perhaps it is less of a "how" and more of a "hey, look at the Gold!"  I want to remember how valuable are the things of God vs. the worries of man.  I choose to celebrate the mastery that God holds over my worries and be available when the Spirit beckons.
