Moment-by-Moment or Once-in-a-Blue-Moon?

“However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them?
In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.”
I Corinthians 2:9-11
 

 
You have the Spirit of God residing in you.
The Spirit of God knows the very thoughts of God, the deep things of God.
We often quote the verse in Jeremiah about Gods’ good plans for us;
His plans to give us a future and a hope.
That is a wonderful verse and when I understand it in light of the verse quoted above from
I Corinthians, I can begin to draw some very important conclusions for my life.
Certainly I will know how absolutely important it is to hear what the
Holy Spirit has to say to me.
God’s plans for each of our lives unfold moment-by-moment and it is so vital to have that moment-by-moment relationship with Him through the Holy Spirit.
Too many have what might be described as a “once-in-a-blue-moon” relationship!
“I’m in trouble so now it’s time to seek God!”
“I don’t know what to do next, I guess I can ask God!”
Not that God can’t and won’t hear our prayers in times of trouble or confusion but is that the abundant life we are supposed to be walking in?
Seeing what the Holy Spirit is doing in and through us, hearing and understanding what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us is essential for the unfolding of those plans.
The work God is doing on the earth He chooses to do through man.
He chooses to do through you!
Are you listening to Him?
Do you see His work in you?
