One
thing about being young is that there are so many decisions to be made:
decisions about school, decisions about relationships, decisions about career,
decisions about marriage, decisions about where to spend your time, and the
list goes on. Of all the options available, how do you know what is right for
you?
God
loves you far too much to have you waste your life on foolish choices. When you
became a Christian, God gave you His Holy Spirit to guide you in His truth. The
Holy Spirit, who is your perfect counselor, knows the mind of God. Life can be
confusing sometimes. When you find yourself in a dilemma and you don’t know
where to turn, turn to God. When others are putting pressure on you to do
something, the Holy Spirit will help you discern whether it’s right or wrong to
do as they say. Counselors, pastors, parents, and friends can all be helpful as
you make decisions, but ultimately, the decisions are yours, as are the
consequences of those decisions. Don’t make your choice until you’ve heard from
the Spirit of Truth.
It’s human
nature to seek advice when you’re not sure what to do. It can be very helpful to
get advice from those you respect, but don’t ignore the counselor who lives within
you. People make mistakes; God does not. Whenever you’re overwhelmed, it means you
don’t know the truth of your situation, and you need to hear from the Spirit of
Truth. - Blackaby
“But when
He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak
on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to
come.” – John 16: 13
