Be honorable in all situations; choose to do the right always. Know that we cannot follow the desires of our heart but in everything we have to think, what would Jesus do? The situation might be tough and your flesh may be leading you in the opposite direction but understand that as difficult as it may be your choice leads to one of two things, life or death. Life meaning peace and death meaning suffering.
No life is easy there will always be challenges but if we choose the right way, as difficult as it is, we can rest assured that in the future (because in the moment the benefit is always hidden) we will experience the rewards of our right choices. Depend on the Holy Spirit to lead your choices, rest, knowing that the Holy Spirit, who is your guide, will never mislead you, as your flesh will. He will never give you what you do not deserve as your flesh will do, many times it our choices driven by our flesh that causes us to be in the malaise we usually end up in.
The Holy Spirit is the truth; the Holy Spirit is the bearer of good heavenly gifts. The Holy Spirit has been given to us by God as our guide.
Whenever we decide to take on an expedition especially one that involves danger, the wisest choice is to have a guide, one who is familiar with the route. One who tells you where to place your feet. Those who have climbed the Dunns River Falls in Jamaica would understand, because climbing the fall is very dangerous. A guide is a must in order to successfully get to the top. I remember the guide telling me where I should place my feet and I found it funny but as I got to different stages of the journey I understood why he was needed. There is no way I would have gotten to the top successfully by myself or by my own choices, he possibly prevented my death.
That is also the job of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is here to guide our journey to heaven. He wants to show us every step that we should take, what we should see and how we should see. Given the chance the Holy Spirit will empower us to choose wisely and to choose the right way. To live an honorable life, to bring honor to God so that our journey from earth to heaven will be a success. We cannot rely on our flesh to be a success we have to rely on the Holy Spirit’s leading.
Our prayer: Holy Spirit lead me in the right way so that my journey to heaven will be a success and that Honor will be given to God throughout the journey. Amen
