Split Seconds

Here's something about the voice of the Holy Spirit that I've learned. And that is the Holy Spirit often speaks in split seconds. What do I mean by that? I mean that before you go to write that post on Facebook, right before you click post, the Holy Spirit's speaking, don't write that post. Before you send that text, the Holy Spirit's saying, don't, just as your finger's about to touch that button, the Holy Spirit's saying, don't send that. And then just as you're having an outburst of anger, The words are right on the tip of your tongue. Somebody really made you angry and you're looking at them and just looking at their face, you wanna say some angry words. And just in that moment where that anger is rising like fire in your heart and you go to speak against them, the Holy Spirit in those split seconds is saying, don't say those words. Before you give into lust, you're about to search for that thing online. You're about to call that person. You're about to allow your eyes to wander. Just as you're about to fulfill that ungodly act, in those split seconds, the Holy Spirit is saying, don't do it. And often the Holy Spirit even gives us instruction about our future, about a path ahead, about a divine opportunity he wants to create for us. And if we're not careful, we rush past those split seconds in which the Holy Spirit leaves instructions, and then we're left wondering why we've made a mess of things because we live so presumptuously That we don't involve the Holy Spirit.
