The Spirit of the Lord Guides

Scripture Judges 11:29 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed through Mizpah of Gilead; and from Mizpah of Gilead he advanced toward the people of Ammon.

Observation: There is no where we can’t go if we allow the Spirit of the Lord to be our guide. God wants to accomplish things through us if we allow Him, He will put His spirit on us and guide us. God could make us do anything He wants us to do, but He wants us to do it out of love for Him. If we love Him as we should we would wait on His spirit to guide and direct our lives no matter where He wants to take us. He knows best and wants the best for us.

Application: I continue to do things on my own or don’t do anything at all. I’m still head strong and I try to figure things out on my own and miss God’s best for me. I’m only here for a short time and I don’t know how many opportunities I’ve already messed up on, because I didn’t wait for the spirit of the Lord to guide me. I need to be in constant prayer and be focused on what God desires of me. I want to build up treasures in heaven, bear fruit and run the good race of faith, but I can only do it with the Spirits’ guidance in my life.

Prayer: My Lord place the Holy Spirit in my heart and guide me each day to do what is pleasing to you. I don’t know how much time is left for me and I want to accomplish what you created me to do. Guide this servant and show me where you want me to go and give me success in all you call on me to do.
