The Way In Which His Spirit Leads

Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
Romans 8:14

Romans 8 highlights the many facets of life in the Spirit. God has not called you to live for him in a vacuum.

Rather, in the person of the Holy Spirit, he has provided all you need to enjoy daily victory and vitality in your walk with him.

Through the words of Jonathan Edwards, focus today on the importance of the Holy Spirit as your leader.

WALK WITH JONATHAN EDWARDS
“The Spirit leads the children of God by inclining them to do the will of God from a holy, heavenly disposition which the Spirit of God gives them.

“The Spirit inclines and leads them to those things that are excellent and agreeable to God.

“He enlightens them with respect to their duty, by making their eye single and pure, whereby the whole body is full of light.

“The purifying influence of the Spirit corrects the taste of the soul, whereby he savors those things that are holy and agreeable to God.

“Like one with a discriminating taste, he chooses those things that are good and wholesome, and rejects those that are evil.

“And thus the Spirit of God leads and guides; he enables us to understand the commands and counsels of God’s Word, and rightly to apply them.”

WALK CLOSER TO GOD
Think of the Spirit as your “holy guide” through life.

You are not alone. He is a companion to guide you over each uncertain step. He is already infinitely familiar with the path. He is sent by God, with the mind of God, and knowing the will of God.

All that is necessary is for you to put your hand in his—to acknowledge that he knows the path ahead better than you do and to walk with him, neither lagging behind nor running ahead.

That’s your daily privilege as a child of the King!
