When we accept Jesus Christ as Lord, we’re given the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13). The Holy Spirit is given to be our guides and to teach us everything (John 16:13; John 14:26). Once we identify the Holy Spirit’s voice, He’ll tell us what to do.

Most of the time, He’s telling us little things to do. He’ll tell us to go to bed at a certain time. He’ll tell us to drive a different way to work. He’ll tell us to stop eating certain foods. Some of the things He tells us to do seem insignificant and we’ll wonder if it really was the Holy Spirit. Like anything else, when we get these simple instructions, we have a choice to make. We’ll obey His voice or ignore it.

These little adjustments could help us with major things down the line. Going to bed early could provide clarity for a presentation we have to make at work. That presentation could ultimately lead to a promotion. We could avoid a car accident if we drive a different way to work.

Anything He tells us, big or small, is for our good. Learn to listen to His voice and obey His instructions.

John 14:26 But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
