My Guide

I've been pondering lots about guidance of late, hence God's been telling me to wait. Tonight, He reminded me through the InTouch Daily Devotion that He has given me His Holy Spirit who is my Guide. The devotion is well worth reading (and the Bible passage it's based on of course!). These bits in particular stood out to me:

Starting at the moment of salvation, everyone who trusts in the Savior is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who promises to lead believers into all the truth. Like a built-in compass, He will direct us exactly the right way, regardless of the choice. He never makes a mistake.

His leadership is always right, but our reception isn’t always clear. Yielding to the Lord is an essential requirement for receiving His direction. We cannot tolerate sin and go our own way in one area and expect to receive His guidance in another.

When a decision is unclear, ask yourself these questions: Will Christ be glorified in this choice? Can I do this in Jesus’ name? If either answer is no, don’t follow that path, because the Holy Spirit is not guiding you there. His leading always aligns with Scripture and brings glory to Christ.
