Where He Leads Me I Will Follow

God has a way of letting us know what is right, what is wrong, and what His will is. Call it a feeling, a knowing, an intuition, or a green light on the inside, we all have a witness in our spirit when something is in question. You get a witness about “go” or “not go”. This is not usually an audible voice, just a witness in our heart. It is a spiritual direction about what we should “do” or “not do”. Even people who do not know God have some ability to discern. But for the Christian, the Holy Spirit is inside to tell us what to do. He is our Helper, our Teacher and our Guide. Training yourself to listen to His voice is the most important thing you can do in your walk with God. He will lead you in the way that will be pleasing to God and bring success to every area of your life. Psalms 32:8 says, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.”
Learning to hear from God and be led by the Holy Spirit is an exciting adventure. God wants to speak to you and tell you what you need to know to enjoy your life, be blessed, be wise, and fulfill the good plans He has for you. He always has something good and helpful to say, but sometimes people miss knowing these things because they fail to recognize that God is speaking to them. They need to learn how to hear and obey His voice.
Earthly parents talk to their children all the time, so why wouldn’t our heavenly Father speak to us? Human parents do not expect their children to know what to do if they don’t tell them, and God is the same way with His children. He wants to tell us everything we need to know in life. We often want to go our own way so we can do what we want to do, when we want to do it. But, when we live this way, we end up losing our way and wasting our lives. We need the Holy Spirit to guide us through each day of our time on Earth, and He is committed to doing so by speaking to us and telling us everything we need to know.
A key to hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit is knowing the Word of God. He leads us by the Word. Psalms 119:11 says, “Your Word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” Psalms 73:24 says, “You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.” He said the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. He said His Word is truth. That’s why it is so important to know the Word of God, for it is the key to our prospering in every area of life. He only has our best interest at heart. That’s love. God’s love.
So let me encourage you to get into the Bible. Read it. Meditate on it. Get to know the ways of the Father, so when you hear something on the inside, you will know whether or not it was the voice of the Holy Spirit or not. It’s a daily training. So begin today. Make the decision that you will pay attention to the presence of the Holy Spirit within you, so that you can thankfully say, “Where He leads me I will follow.”
