The Holy Spirit – Our Guide Through Life
“For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” — Romans 8:14
The Holy Spirit has been sent to guide us into all truth. (John 16:13) As children of God, we have the ability to hear His voice and receive His guidance. There are two questions we need to ask before making life decisions. (1) Does it line up with God’s Word? We all want to know if our decisions are aligned with God’s will, primarily because we want to avoid having to deal with the consequences and/or have regrets in the future. God's Word is like a compass — it will always point to the truth. (2) Am I being pressured to make a hasty decision? This is where we need to trust God’s timing over our immediate desires and rely on the Holy Spirit for wisdom, rather than making impulsive or emotional decisions. If we will ask ourselves these two questions when we come to a point where we need to make a decision, the Holy Spirit will lead us into truth. As Romans 8:28 tells us, God works everything together for our good.
