Your Guide Inside
At some time or another, you have probably made a wrong decision or a choice that did not turn out so well. Maybe you entered the wrong answer on a test by mistake, or perhaps you chose to go to a certain event and later wished that you had skipped it. Some wrong decisions don’t matter that much, but others can be catastrophic.
While there may be times when we purposely make the wrong decision, usually that is not the case. Most of the time we make a wrong choice when we are just not paying attention to what we are doing, or when we just had no idea that our decision would be a mistake. In such cases, we may feel like saying, “I just wish someone had told me!”
Well, there is Someone who can tell us the right decision every time if we will only stop and listen to Him. He is the Holy Spirit. He is the third Person of the Trinity – the Divine God-head composed of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Whenever you gave your life to God and accepted Jesus into your heart, the Holy Spirit came to live inside you. Jesus said that He asked the Father to send us the Holy Spirit to be with us all the time and to live within us (John 14.16-17).
The Holy Spirit has been sent to be our Comforter, our Helper, our Teacher, our Intercessor, our Strengthener, and our Guide. Jesus explained that when we have the Holy Spirit in our life, He will guide us into all truth and He will show us everything we need to know (John 16.13).
The Holy Spirit is our Guide Inside. If we do not know what to do, we can ask the Holy Spirit and He will speak inside our heart the right choice to make. Even at times when we think we know the right decision, it is a good idea to check with the Holy Spirit what He sees would be the correct action. When we practice letting the Holy Spirit be involved with all our decisions, we will discover that He always has the best answer to everything.
Everything works out better when we trust and follow the Holy Spirit. The reason why is that He knows everything.
By ourselves, we cannot see what is up ahead – but the Holy Spirit knows. When we learn to listen to Him and rely on Him, we can avoid a lot of bad decisions.
Proverbs 3.4-5 instructs us to trust God with all our heart and not trust our own judgment and reasoning. When we keep our attention on Him and let Him lead us, He will clear the path for us to follow.
Proverbs 3.4-5 in the Message Bible says, “Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He is the One who will keep you on track.”
When we let the Holy Spirit be the Guide in our life, He will help us to make right choices in the big things and in the little things.
He is there for us all the time – so let us rely on Him to show us what to do in every situation.
The Holy Spirit is our very own Guide Inside.
