Being led of the Spirit!

There is a reason why God has scriptures in the word, in particular this one in Proverbs 3:5- Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. 

Don't imagine you can handle part of your life and just get Him involved in the tough ones. That verse is saying to trust, with every breath you have inside you, to acknowledge him means he knows more than you do, and you are not proud to ask him about all the affairs of your life! That is being Spirit led, not led of our carnal selves, where our feeling and head get in the way. There will be times in our life that an opportunity will present itself to you, and logically it seems the right way to go, but that's not always the case. We must discipline our lives in God, to go to Him, as that verse is saying, it does take discipline!  The devil will be pushy in your life, through all sorts of suggestions and feeling at times! He is a manipulator and pushy, if your not strong you will yield to him! We must always remember he is defeated, and has been stripped of his power over us! The only way he has legal right is when we agree and get into fear! We need to look at our lives and examine what is leading us! Request led, need led, kid led, situation led, stress led, calamity led, fear led,opportunity led. The Spirit of God bears wittiness with your Spirit, the Sons of God are led internally.Romans 8:14.

Our job is to acknowledge God every time when faced with something, that's humility,and say "I don't know"!  We all need to learn that "obvious" isn't being Spirit led, things that seem so clear, and so plain, and say their's no need to check with God on it. We should never assume, but we should ask, pride wont ask! The most important thing is, are you doing what God wants you to do, are so many interruptions causing you to miss your time with God?  We sometimes feel that we must finish everything first and then give God our time!

Martha yielded to the wrong influencer, which led her to make accusations to Jesus about Mary. She accused Jesus of not being aware of what was happening, "Mary not helping her sister"! The right thing to do would of been for Martha to ask, not assume that Jesus didn't care. Of course Jesus cares and he knows everything that's going on, maybe Martha should of asked Jesus if all that preparation was needed? Then everything else would of fallen into place!

 So I believe we save ourselves so much trouble and heartache if we only ask, acknowledge God in our situations, not only when we get into tough ones! We are led by peace not pressure, the word of God says in Hebrews 4;1- Therefore , since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Now we who have believed enter that rest. 
Laboring to enter that rest only means that all the stuff on the outside will try to keep you out of the rest,and once your in the rest-it takes the  good fight of faith and casting down all the vain imaginations and casting all your care on Him,to stay in the rest! Even when the gates of hell come against you, and are shaking, you can say I will not be moved!

 We will be able to be Spirit led, when we are in the rest of God. Thats not doing nothing either, but its doing it all in faith, no pressure! Jesus is our example and he never let others pressure him into answers he only did what his Father said! Always remember He loves you!
