Who is Giving You Directions?

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.  Galatians 5:16

When we are the guide to our lives - we walk straight into what our sinful nature craves.  This leads to worry and anxiety because of where we are going in life; we tend to participate in destructive or wasteful activities.  We over eat, we over drink, we play video games until late in the morning hours... add to the list of things you might do when you are stressed out.  


But when the Holy Spirit guides us we can live as God desires for us to live and we can live in freedom.  Free to encourage others, free to live in healthy relationships, free to worship God, free to ministry to others... add to the list what God leads you towards when you trust in God's leading.  

Stressed out?  Full of anxiety?  Could it be that you are in charge of the direction you are headed in life instead of trusting in God's Holy Spirit?
