1 Corinthians 2:15-16 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Decisions in life aren’t always easy. The spirit of world is in constant conflict for our choices. To the world, our life path should be based upon material achievement and financial security/success. Anything less is foolish. However, when we are in tune with the Spirit of God, we see choices based upon different priorities. We learn to look inwardly and see which path would improve our influence for the Kingdom, our relationship with God and others. The world demands that our choices be based upon leaving an inheritance of wealth and a legacy of achievement. The Spirit of Christ within us calls us to leave behind souls who have an inheritance in heaven, and a legacy of love. Which will you allow to influence your choices today?

Holy Spirit, I need Your wisdom to be strong in my mind. Forgive me for quenching Your power with my own thoughts and desires. Help me to know that things that don’t make sense by worldly standards could be Your call for a step of faith. I submit to Your lead! Amen
