Granted, Psalms 8 reminds us
that humans were made just a little lower than the heavenly beings. We have the
power of dominion over everything on earth. But if that power gets misused, we suffer
greatly. We need the guidance of someone larger than ourselves. No one human
person [not even the best computer] can coordinate everything to satisfy everyone. We need God’s Holy Spirit guidance to keep
from destroying everything. How do we find a personal balance? How do we
accomplish a steady involvement with the Holy Spirit?
In
the first place, you do not have to push things. Just begin by giving credit where
it belongs. We can now belong to Him as friend and confidant. We are His companion
and He is our partner. He joins us in a perpetual relationship.
When are we most His friend? One answer: When
we praise him by giving Him presence. Whether through large or small events,
let Him lead. When you step, He steps. When He steps, you step. When you sing,
let Him sing. When He sings, you sing. When you speak, use His words as yours.
When He speaks, you speak. When he feels, you feel. But always wait on his
leading.
I know always trying to live His presence daily is still
scary. But it is one helpful nervousness that moves us toward honesty.
Recognizing the Holy Spirit as real and placing Him the center of life reveals
an astonishing truth. He will help you with candid efforts. You will not do
this alone.
