LISTENING TO OUR SPIRITS… It’s so important to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading, especially in this hour that we live in. Let me give you a scriptural example. On one of his missionary journeys, Paul came to Troas, expecting to find Titus waiting for him. Paul was so taken aback that Titus was not there, he wrote, “I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia” (2 Corinthians 2:13). The words Paul uses in Second Corinthians 2:13 tells us that he could not shake off what he was feeling in his spirit. He was so RESTLESS or INWARDLY DISTURBED that he immediately left Troas and went on to Macedonia to search for his dear friend Titus. The words “taking my leave of them” is so strong in the Greek that it lets us know Paul didn’t take a long time to respond to this inward disturbance in his spirit. Instead, he took what he sensed as a God-given signal that something was not right. He subsequently told the believers in Troas farewell and quickly traveled to Macedonia to seek out his missing ministry friend. The apostle Paul LISTENED to his spirit. He knew that if he was inwardly disturbed, it could be a warning sign that something was wrong. Thus, he responded with urgency and took appropriate action when he had this kind of inner witness. Just giving you a little more to THINK ABOUT today! — Rick Renner
