Are You Sure You Know What You're Doing?

Have you ever tried to explain a personal revelation from God to someone else? Unfortunately, I have tried many times. I have learned that there is power in revelation but only to the one God intended on directing! I remember years ago when the Holy Spirit directed me to home school my kids and I tried to help our family and friends understand what I was doing. I gave reason after reason as I was trying to convince them that I was doing the right thing. I wasn’t sure why God had led me to home school but I was sure that HE had. Now, all these years later, I understand perfectly! God gave back so much during that time with my kids that had been lost in previous years of sin.

Being led by God is very difficult to explain to another. We have all probably heard the phrases a time or two: "I felt led" or, "I just don’t feel led!" How many times have we heard it abused or misused by someone not wanting to accept responsibility for peculiar behavior or a lack of desire? Yet the fact remains that HE does still lead His people in and out of places and positions. He lays things on our hearts and draws us in ways that can cause us to feel foolish when we explain them to others. He moves and deals with us. He burdens and, at times, consumes us. All this is better than those seasons where we kind of think He might be ignoring us!

Are you in a season of being led but finding it hard to explain? Trying to explain the leading of the Holy Spirit in your life to other people is wearisome, to say the least! Being led by God is stepping out in faith not sight. How can we make someone see what we don't see clearly yet ourselves? Even the things God allows you to see wouldn’t make sense to other people. So what’s the solution? Be led by God and learn to give an account only to those of whom it is required. We all have people in our lives that are over us in some way or another. I call them Kings but don’t go around kinging everybody! lol!! When you have really searched out the will of God with fasting and prayer, He will come through.

What has God led you to do? Do you feel moved? Has God put something on your heart? Has He compelled you in any way? If you are waiting for everyone to understand it before you move then be prepared for misery! Doubt brings along frustration but peace always hangs out with faith. I would rather be at peace with God than have the approval of a bunch of people who cannot direct their own life, much less mine!
