We all have plans, dreams, and opinions. But the danger is assuming that every good idea must be a God idea. One of the greatest tests of whether it’s truly God speaking—or just us—is whether we’re being Spirit-led… or self-led.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:
"Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." — Galatians 5:16
Here’s the deal: Not every open door is from God. Not every opportunity is Spirit-led. Sometimes it’s just our ego talking, dressed up in spiritual language. The Holy Spirit leads us toward surrender, holiness, and kingdom impact. The flesh pulls us toward comfort, recognition, and control.
God’s voice often invites us into something bigger than ourselves, something that requires dependence and obedience. Our own voice tends to protect our comfort zone, avoid risk, or chase validation.
Ask yourself:
— Is this prompting about God’s glory or my success?
— Am I chasing God’s will or my own outcome?
— Would I still obey if no one ever saw or applauded it?
God speaks in ways that often stretch us. But He won’t lead you into confusion, pride, or compromise. His Spirit won’t tell you to run ahead—He’ll walk with you in step-by-step trust.
Question of the Day:
Is this prompting drawing you closer to God—or promoting your own agenda?
Let’s Pray:
Father, I don’t want to be led by my own desires. Teach me to walk by Your Spirit, not my flesh. Lead me away from pride and into Your will. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Let’s Get To Work!
A Spirit-led life may not always make sense—but it always bears fruit.
