“So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.” Ephesians 5:15 (NLT)
In our quest to meet our daily needs and desires in life, we can become insensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. The thoughts and pursuit of a better and more satisfying life engulf our minds at the expense of our spiritual growth and well-being.
As Christians, we ought to spend some quality time with the Holy Spirit in other to understand God’s plan and purpose for our life at every point in time.
Jesus’ response to the question his disciples asked him about the return of Elijah reveal that it's possible to be preoccupied with your daily activities and not notice when something significant happens. The disciple’s question showed they were unaware that the person they were expecting as a sign to the coming of the Messiah, had already come. It took a close relationship with Jesus to make them see that the expected sign was John the Baptist (v13). Many Christians today are in similar situation, totally unaware of spiritual events and have become susceptible to the devices of the devil.
It is dangerous to go through life unaware of the spiritual import of happenings and events. As Christians, we must stay sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. He is our gateway to revelation and understanding. Build an intimacy with God by developing the habit of spending quality time in study and meditation and God, through the Holy Spirit, will guide you into all truth and show you things to come.
