Whose your Tour Guide?

TOPIC: Following Directions

SCRIPTURE: "Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness." (Luke 4:1)

OBSERVATION: Jesus was led around by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness for 40 days of testing. Temptations will often come after a really high or low point in our life or ministry. Remember that Satan chooses the times of his attacks. So, we need to be alert and more sensitive in times of victory just as much as in times of discouragement.

APPLICATION: The Holy Spirit will lead us into difficult situations.
Did you catch that word

WILL

In light of that fact
Be ready

When facing trials
1st
Make Sure

U haven't brought them on yourself
through sin
or
unwise choices.

DON'T RUSH PAST THIS
Many people don't want to take
personal responsibility
for their choices!

If
you find no sin to confess
or
unwise behavior to change,
then
ask God to strengthen you for your test.

Finally, be careful to follow faithfully wherever the Holy Spirit leads.

PRAYER: Father God, thank you for this reminder! Help me to willingly submit to the Holy Spirit in the same way that Jesus did.
