Leading Over Reasoning

Happy Thursday << Test First Name >>,

This one is not an easy one for us, but it is necessary, and a must. For even with the best intelligence, education and projections, our knowledge, experience and wisdom are still limited, lacking and lagging.

We exist in a context where there are several players, principles, powers and programs at play. So without God’s leading, we are lost, loosing and oozing with fears. We cannot rely or trust our reasoning, but we can be at rest when God is leading.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”
Proverbs 3:5 NIV

God is always speaking to us, but are you listening?
Listening and discerning are precursors to the privilege of God’s leading. God communicates in several ways to seek and save us, but if we cannot detect Him, then His leading will miss us. To complicate things further, God is not the only one trying to lead us. We have an active enemy who is competing, copying and corrupting the things of God.

We must yearn, learn and discern the voice of God. And that comes by sensing, studying and spending intimate time with Him. God is faithful to give us His Word in writing (Bible), in flesh (King Jesus) and in spirit (The Holy Spirit). We are indeed without excuse. Let us choose today to honour His grace and the goodness of life, by seeking His leading over our reasoning.

Blessing!
