Flowing with the Spirit

The cadence of God's voice reverberates in and out of time, and to flow with the Holy Spirit is to keep pace with God's voice.  When you walk according to the Spirit, you will not often be in step with the world, but attention to the Holy Spirit's leading is protective. God's wisdom will guide you to safe harbor when the world's "wisdom" would place you in harm's way. 

Trying to pay equal attention to God's voice and also to the world's demands will result in the instability of confusion.  "You cannot serve two masters" (Matthew 6:24).  Hearing God's Word but failing to put it into practice has a similar result (Luke 6:49). 

Pray to put into practice the good guidance that flows from the Holy Spirit within you.  He will never lead you astray.  Obey the Lord and leave the results of that obedience in His hands, even when you must turn your back on the opinions and judgments of other human beings.  The Lord will be your advocate (1 John 2:1).
