Moved by the Spirit

Imagine yourself in the middle of a maze, unsure of how to get out. Where do you turn? If you knew the creator of the maze was nearby, you would most likely ask for help to find the way out. This is a picture of what your relationship with the Holy Spirit looks like.

The Holy Spirit is your Helper, your Teacher, and your Guide. The Holy Spirit is the Perfect Navigator — He knows every turn and the best path for your life and calls us to move with Him, completely in step with the Spirit.

Have you ever taken someone by the hand as you walked? Wherever you turned, that person followed because you were connected. They moved with you because they yielded their leadership to yours. If you’re the one being led, you move with the gentle tug when the direction changes. This is what it looks like to be led by the Holy Spirit, who lives within you. When you feel His gentle tug on your hand, follow His lead and stay closely connected to Him. Move with Him, by the Spirit.

Prayer

King Jesus, I remember what it was like to live life my way. I remember what it was like to be in control and have no idea where I was going. Thank You for saving me, for putting me on the narrow path, and showing me the way forward. Amen.
