When it Seems
Right
How to be sensitive to God's leading.
|
The
other day a friend of mine was involved in a fender-bender. No one was injured but the remarkable
revelation was that before the collision, each person had
an inward sensitivity to the impending
doom and had been led to
take another route. Unfortunately, no one considered the inward-knowing
to be valid.
As my friend left the store, he started his vehicle and
paused to notice an inward hesitation or "red light,"
and for a moment, considered taking a
different route. The other driver hesitated before exiting the freeway,
thinking that she should instead continue on her way home. She,
too, paused to consider an inward "red light."
|
We are led by God’s Spirit through our
seem-ers. We think, "This seems
like the right thing to do." For my friend, it seemed best to take the
other road, but he didn’t. It seemed right
for the other driver to just go home, but
she didn’t. The good news is
that as we pray and spend time with God, the strength of our seem-er increases.
Let us remember that as children of God, we are led by His Spirit. Let us be
sensitive to his leading and protected by his counsel.
Let us move, when it seems right. |
