Spirit Led for Life

I was reminded today about living a Spirit-led life. In Romans chapter 8, it talks about being already set free from our sinful nature and being able to choose to follow the Spirit's leading. In Galatians chapter 5 it talks about no longer living under the law but being free in Christ and having the ability to follow His Spirit. I've noticed that some people in the church don't understand what being Spirit led is (I'm not saying I'm an expert on this either), whether it be because of a religious spirit or fear or whatever it might be, some Christians don't know how to follow the Spirit.

I think we should ask questions everyday such as this:
What are You feeling today, God?
What are You thinking about right now, Holy Spirit?
How can I serve You today, Jesus?
What's on Your heart, Father?

Asking these will start your day off alert and following the Spirit. I am also reminded of Psalm 23 and how the Lord is our leader (shepherd), we need to submit to His authority and His leadership and follow Him, even when we feel like failures. It honors and blesses His heart so much to see a man or woman after His own heart. He delights in the weak and foolish things of this world and uses them powerfully. Another verse I am reminded of is when Jesus finds the two men in the boat and says, "Take up your cross and follow me." If we share in the sufferings of Christ we will surely share in the glory as well. He is ever interceding for us and I can't thank Him enough for that because I honestly don't know what I would do if I didn't have my own Maker thinking about my well being constantly. He's is so good, even when we don't see a blessing come out of a certain circumstance or situation. God's timing is perfect and He will not forget about the promises He's made for our lives. He is perfect, doesn't make mistakes, He knows exactly where He's taking you and what He's doing. Trust in Him and His leadership, always.
