When was the last time the Holy Spirit led you?

When was the last time the Holy Spirit led you? How did you know that it was the Holy Spirit?

Let each one reflect on how they are led by the Spirit if they have been led at all. Have you recently prayed about a decision that you were not sure about and after prayer was there clarity?

Did you feel the Holy Spirit leading you? Did you acknowledge his guidance or was your acknowledgment after the fact, that is after the guidance had taken place that upon reflection you realised that it was the Holy Spirit that has led you.  

Whatever way we feel that the Holy Spirit leads us, one thing is for sure namely that the Holy Spirit will never lead us to sin. His ways are ways of righteousness. The Holy Spirit is God and we should never say when tempted, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone, (James 1:13). 

Jesus indeed was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. The Spirit is not the tempter. Likewise, we can be led into the wilderness to be tested and we ought to always pray, lead us not into temptation, that is for the temptation not to overcome us. But deliver us from evil.
