Being Led by the Spirit of God

May 3, 2026    Rev. Doug Jones

How do you know when God is leading you? Many of us wait for a dramatic "go ye" moment—expecting God to drop clear direction into our hearts out of nowhere. But here's the truth: most of us will only have one or two of those moments in our entire lives.


The reality is that God leads us as we move. Like a ship that's easier to steer when it's already in motion, God guides our steps as we take them. Gather the information, pray for wisdom, and then step forward. If you sense that check in your spirit—that hesitation—pull back. But if peace remains, keep moving forward.


Stop waiting for the lightning bolt. Start walking in faith, listening for His gentle guidance with every step.
