Go Where God Sends You

Go Where God Sends You

5/20

One of the main reasons people don’t enjoy their lives is that they don’t follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus fulfilled the law, we have full freedom to enter into the Holy of Holies and fellowship with the Father. Hebrews calls this “a fresh (new) and living way” to enjoy our relationship with God (see Hebrews 10:20).

 

Spend time with God today, and go wherever the Spirit of God leads you. He will always give you the grace to do what He calls you to do.

 

A New Desire

5/21

Romans 7:22

When we are born again, we get a new “want to.”  The law says we “have to, should, and ought to,” but we want to do the right thing because God has put a new heart in us to replace the hard stony one that used to be indifferent to Him and His will (see Ezekiel 36:26).

 

Learn to recognize the difference between the desires of your flesh and the desires placed in you by the Holy Spirit. Psalm 1:1-2 says, “BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly……But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law( precepts, the instructions, the teaching of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.”

 

 

Everyone Is Different

5/22

Romans 12:6

Don’t feel bad about yourself if you are not able to do what someone else is anointed to do. God anoints each of us to contribute to the body of Christ in some unique way. What God enables you to do is no more or less important than what He has called someone else to do.

 

God made you different from everyone else to fulfill the desire of His heart, and He promises to fulfill the desires of your heart too (see Psalm 37:4). He will anoint whatever He’s given you, so place your gifts in His power today, and enjoy yourself.
