REJECTING GOD

Today's reading: 1 Thessalonians 4-5

"God has called us to be holy, not to live impure lives. Anyone who refuses to live by these rules is not disobeying human rules but is rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to us." 1 Thessalonians 4:7-8 NLT

Think about the times throughout your day when you know better than God.

Oh, you'd never say it out loud...how preposterous.

But it's true.

When the Spirit leads you to do something, or to not do something, to say something, or to keep your mouth shut--and you don't, you are telling God that you know better.

You are rejecting His leading and guidance in your life.

You are, in all reality, saying--Step back, Lord, I know better than you.

While we would never, ever, consider that to be true, our actions tell on us.

Be mindful today as you hear the Spirit of the Living God attempt to direct your ways.
