~ We will not always understand the things that God puts in our heart or someone elses heart to do.. but we will always have an unexplained peace when it is truly the leading of the Spirit of God... that's how you can have those butterflies of uncertainty and yet that certainty that this is the way you must go concerning the issue at hand.
If you go in arrogance full of selfish ambition.. you sin....
If you go beating yourself up in false humility.. you sin.
But if you go in fear and trembling, understanding that the power and will of God is about to move thru whatever you are about to say or do.. coupled with going in boldness, knowing that God is very present..
you please God.
Even in your smallness, even in your imperfections..
When your heart's main motive is to please God, then go.
Keeping in mind that sometimes he can change your direction in mid-stream, and that's not error, that's just evidence that something shifted in heavenly places or in someones heart that changed the direction God needs you to take things.
Think of Jonah.. how God told him to preach that destruction was coming to Ninevah.. and then God showed them mercy because they repented.. that's what Jonah dreaded all along.. knowing God was a merciful God and would change the plan..
If the plan changes, or God throws a curveball.. we've got to get past our pride and go with the new play he sent out onto the field or spoke into our headset... the leading of the Spirit is a continual, moment by moment thing.. the quarterback has no idea what exact plays will progress thru the game.. sometimes the win depends on an unexpected play here and there that was necessary and wise.
~ You gotta trust your coach.
