Romans 8:10-18 (topic using verses 14-18 KJV) 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. The greatest sign that you and I are maturing in our walk with God is when we can discern the difference between good things and Gods things. When the people of Israel journeyed out of Egypt through the desert, the cloud led them by day. They could move only as fast as the cloud. If they went ahead, they went without Gods presence. If they lagged behind, they also lost Gods presence. Each of us must have the discernment to know when God is leading in a matter, or if it is simply a good idea. There are so many things in which you and I can be involved, and the more successful you become, the greater the temptations to enter into things where God has not called you. Entrepreneurs are especially prone to see all the opportunities. I recall one time when I entered into a project that I thought was a great idea. It would help many people. After a while, the project had to be discontinued. It was a great lesson on understanding what projects have Gods blessing on them. There are some projects you and I might get involved in that result in little fruit compared to the investment put into them. That is because they may never have been birthed by the Holy Ghost. As children of God, we are called to be led by the Holy Ghost. This requires a level of dependence on God in which many of us really do not want to invest. It requires listening, patiently waiting, and moving only when Gods Spirit tells us to move. Workplace believers are action people. We know how to get things done, but our greatest strength can be our greatest weakness. Today, ask God to make you a Romans 8:14(KJV), For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God; man or woman who is led by the Spirit of God. Pray against lagging behind or moving ahead. Ask God to reveal whether the next project you consider entering into is a Good Thing or a Gods Thing.
