We all have stories of times when we know that we followed the Holy Spirit's leading and God worked in a mighty way. We also all have stories of times when we have ignored the Spirit's leading in our lives. In the end our choice to follow the Holy Spirit comes down to two things that I wish to lift up today.
1.) Do we truly believe that the Spirit is in control of our lives? All too often we act like we are in control or proclaim that life is about getting what we want when we want it. But what if we chose to intentionally live our lives in a way that proclaimed that God was in control? What would it look like for you to relinquish control of your life to Christ?
2.) Do we truly believe that the Spirit is leading us to the place where our best interest and the Kingdom of God intersect? Far too often even mature Christians are guarded about trusting that God will act upon our behalf, so we try to achieve everything on our own. What if we trusted God enough to follow the Spirit?
What are some other factors that come into play for you in trusting the Spirit?
