3 Reasons To Expect the Spirit to Lead You Every Day

Number 1:  If you're a child of God, it is your identity and your destiny, as it is written:

As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the children of God.

Which leads to
Number 2:  It's normal for you.  Check this out:

In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out;  but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted.  So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.  Exodus 40:36-38

By day God dwelled in a powerful cloud, and by night a pillar of fire.
Day and night.
In all of their travels.
During all of their travels.
In the sight of all the Israelites.

They saw, knew, and expected to travel through life by the direct guidance of God Himself.

Finally, number 3:  It's a command.

Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

A child of God doesn't have the option of independence. He is to seek the Spirit's guidance moment by moment.  She is to follow the Spirit in all she thinks and does.  We are commanded to "acknowledge Him in ALL our ways, and He will direct our paths."

Not some of our ways, most of our ways, or the majority of our ways.
ALL.

So what will you do from now on?
Will you follow the Spirit every day, every moment, or will you follow your own will?
