OUR GUIDING LIGHT

“SO I SAY, LET THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDE YOUR LIVES. THEN YOU WON’T BE DOING WHAT YOUR SINFUL NATURE CRAVES.” GALATIANS 5:16

If you have ever walked into deep darkness without a light, you know the feeling of helplessness. You can see nothing. You feel your way forward, with hope that you run into nothing along the way. That is the way life in this world can sometimes feel. We feel our way along doing things that we are not sure of being correct or incorrect. We do things with much indecision because we just aren’t sure what is ahead of us. If we could just see what was ahead of us, we could plan and stay out of its reach. When we follow our Lord, we do have a light to see ahead of us. He has given us the gift of the Holy Spirit who is our guiding light and who leads us along the path of God’s righteousness. The Holy Spirit lives in each of us as Christians. He is always with us and is always guiding us. Our problem is that we don’t always listen and do as he instructs us to do. We don’t listen to his small still voice leading us away from the trouble we confront. When we are not sure, and we feel a hesitation in our inner being we should listen and take a step back. We should pray and allow the Lord to work in our life. We should pay close attention to what the Holy Spirit is telling us. When we do, we can be assured that our Lord is protecting us. He is preparing us for what is ahead. The Holy Spirit is our guiding light. He loves us as we should love him. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
