But
when the Spirit – the Spirit of The Truth – comes, He will be your guide to The
Way. He is The Truth directly from God, who will lead you, and direct you
through The Life that God has prepared for you. (John 16:13)
Do
you concentrate on doing? Think about the list of appointments, tasks,
objectives, and goals on your agenda before you answer. Are these your focus?
Do you have time to focus on what God’s Spirit would say to you? Would you be
willing to change your agenda if the Spirit leads you to do that?
If
Jesus is to be taken at His word, literally, your agenda must always be viewed
as a work in progress. The Spirit’s role is to lead you. That doesn’t leave
room for you to navigate. “Doing” is navigating; moving toward an end that you
desire. Following – being a follower – is the correct role. The aim of the life
Jesus describes is to complete the plan God has for your life. You do this by
following the Spirit who gives you His Truth. The Spirit shows you His Way to
live each moment in view of that truth. Being His follower is the work.
Believe
that God loves you and has a plan; that He wants to be your guide. Follow. Let
the Spirit lead you. That is how you can be sure the work that matters will be
done.
