Holy Spirit Leading
It took me decades to accept the weakness of my mind. I had thought my mind was reliable. I did wonder about some of my friends’ minds, but I didn’t question my own. So, learning that my thoughts had no foundation was a shock. I couldn’t believe I based so much of my thinking on vapor. I couldn’t believe I had made up so much of what I thought was real. Some of my thoughts were grounded in truth, but many of them were not. Some had no underlying truth at all.
I’m still learning to allow the Holy Spirit to lead me in every aspect of my life. My old habit is to just get things done. I tend to jump into analysis and planning without taking time to stand in the presence of the Almighty. So I’m working on that, and it isn’t easy. Often, my own ambitions and thought-habits muffle the voice of God.
Since admitting I depend on Christ has been hard for me, I think it may be hard for some other Christians. I suspect some Christians will have trouble receiving these truths.
