Being Led by the Holy Spirit

Philip didn’t just leave his comfort zone; he also listened attentively to the Spirit’s leading. When the Spirit told him to go to the desert road, Philip didn’t argue or delay—he simply went.
 
Obedience to the Spirit often feels risky, especially when we don’t know the “why” behind His instructions. Yet, the Spirit sees what we cannot.

Following His lead requires humility, patience, and trust that God is writing a bigger story than we can see. Too often, we hesitate, overanalyze, or ignore His nudges. But being the church means surrendering our plans for His direction. The Spirit doesn’t just guide pastors or missionaries; He leads every believer. Our daily availability to the Spirit is what makes us effective witnesses.
 
Scripture:
Galatians 5:25 - If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
 
Isaiah 30:21 - Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left.
 
Application:
Take 5 minutes today to sit in silence before God and invite the Holy Spirit to speak. Write down any nudges or names that come to mind, and choose to act on one of them this week.
 
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, make my heart sensitive to Your leading. Teach me to listen more than I speak and to obey without hesitation. Guide my steps today, even when I don’t understand the full picture.
