2 Corinthians 2:17; Being Led by the Spirit

In Romans 8:1-2, the Apostle Paul explained well our text, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (Rom. 8:1-2 KJV) The child of God who is led by the Holy Spirit through the meditation of God’s Word is given the wisdom to choose God’s blessed path. Do you pray when you are meditating upon God’s Word to ask for illumination so that you may understand His Word? This is how we can get into the mind of God when we are shown the blessed will of God through His Spirit, we will choose to obey.

Obedience and submission to God’s revealed will bring us to walk in the blessed path of spiritual success. When the steward of Abraham was entrusted by his master to find a wife for Isaac his master’s son, he sought God’s help and was wonderfully led to meet Rebekah. He sought the Lord – 12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. (Gen. 24:12 KJV)

This is the sequel to the story. The Lord grant wisdom to Abraham’s steward and he accomplished the task – 27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren. (Gen. 24:27 KJV) What a testimony of God’s guiding grace in the lives of His people. May this encourage you to lean upon the Lord through prayer and His Word this day. Amen.
