I Wanna be Led!

A few days ago, I was driving and saw something that got me thinking. I was sitting at a red light, and saw a lady who was walking her dogs. However, while in the middle of the intersection, the light turned green so she began to jog to get across the street. Without even a word from their master, the dogs, began to follow suit and and hustled to the other side of the street. The dogs did not try to run ahead of her, nor did they begin to walk slower or at the same pace. They all moved on one accord.

I want to be led by the Holy Spirit in the same way! I want to be so in tune with the Spirit's guiding that even at the slightest bit of change in movement, I will quickly follow suit--with no hesitations!

John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come. ESV 

The Holy Spirit IS the Spirit of God, and He is also referred to as the Spirit of truth. He reveals to us the deeper things of God, teaches us the ways of God, and He leads us in the way everlasting. He is our helper, and He is God. We must learn to trust the Holy Spirit, just like we trust that the sun will rise every morning. When He says, "run", let us run with all we have. When He says, "slow down," let's move at a slower pace. When He says, "make a right," let us cut the wheel right. If He causes us to yield, or stop, let's trust that He knows what is best for us. 

The owner of those dogs knew something the dogs didn't know yet. She knew that danger was coming if they didn't get across that street. Just like the owner of those dogs scurried across the street to keep her dogs safe. The Holy Spirit directs away from things that could harm us, but it's our decision to obey. I don't know about you, but I want to be led!
