But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. John 14:26
You know that feeling?
The one that says you should do something?
That nagging suspicion you should comply with?
If it’s for any sort of reconciliation or compliance with God’s way for you, that’s the Holy Spirit.
He’s whispering to you what you know you should do.
So do you do it?
Why not?
Pride.
Wanting to satisfy your pitiful flesh instead of humbling yourself.
Very tempting, I know.
It’s our natural tendency to feed our flesh instead of what God wants us to do.
Conflict within ourselves is when there’s a choice: our flesh or God.
Helps to remember a couple things.
First, life is so temporary.
The moments we have are fleeting and will never return.
Should we make those moments count, bettering our future?
Or fill the moments with ourself on the throne, never getting those wasted moments back?
And second, as God sees us behaving, what do you want to show Him?
An ungrateful attitude or someone who is learning to put others first?
Do you want to grieve the heart of God or help Him smile?
You could also flip that.
Do you want your actions to cause a win for the Enemy or make it even harder for him to have you?
That little small voice deep inside our head is the Holy Spirit.
He’s there, helping you know exactly what next to do.
The questions is, will you?
Will you listen or keep ignoring Him?
