Life is full of options and decisions. It's also full of people with strong opinions who'll tell you which way you ought to go. If we could turn back the hands of time, nearly all of us would alter some of our past choices because they've caused us to find ourselves in the path of 'wrongness' rather than 'righteousness'. I personally can relate.
The question this morning is: Have you been following your appetites and instincts rather than your Shepherd? You say, 'But God has given me a brain to use.".' Sure, and you need to develop it. But it's limited, and it will only take you so far. The Holy Spirit desires to take you beyond those limits. 'As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God' (Romans 8:14 NKJV). How does God lead us? Objectively through his word, and subjectively through his Spirit. As you read his word, you hear his voice, and as you 'lie down' (Psalm 23:2 NKJV), he impresses upon your heart what he wants you to do.
Here is the clarion call this weekend: If you have gone onto the wrong path, turn to God and he will guide you back onto the right path. 'He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out...he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice' (John 10:3-4 NKJV).
*It's actually sweet and interesting when God is the one leading you. Today, let God lead you! May the Lord give us understanding in Jesus name. Amen*
Good Morning and a wonderful weekend.
