Follow God's Lead

The Holy Spirit at times will prompt us to say or do something out of the ordinary. It may be something huge like starting a business or something as simple as starting a conversation with a stranger on the bus. But, no matter what the Holy Spirit prompts us to do, it's in our best interest to listen.

Many times, however, we tend to second guess that Inner Voice. We rationalize why we can't start a business right now. Or we look at factors as to why we can't possibly be hearing right - that person is sporting a major attitude, and it doesnt' look like they want to talk to anybody on this bus.

But amazing things can happen when we step outside of our comfort zones and follow the Lord's lead.

When Moses followed God's voice, he was able to become one of the greatest leaders the nation of Israel has ever had. Esther's obedience to God's will caused her to preserve her kinsmen from certain death. Samuel's answer to God's voice enabled him to become one of the greatest prophets to walk on the earth.

What is the Holy Spirit telling you to do? What has He dropped in your spirit? Are you listening and acting on His word? Or, are you creating excuses for not listening?

God wants to do great things with you and through you! Follow His lead, He will only steer you into success. The fact that you haven't done something before should be your motivation to act. When you do something you've never done, you get a result you've never had. And with God, that result can only be epic greatness.

Verse of the Day: Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13
