Word prompt--VIBE
Five minutes to free-write about it
-------------------------------------------------
VIBE: A distinctive but intangible quality surrounding a person or thing (Vocabulary.com). -- Distinctive feeling or quality capable of being sensed--e.g. good, bad, or weird (Merriam-Webster dictionary).
That is what the promptings of the Holy Spirit feel like to me. It's that still small voice within that, if I am sensitive to, points me in the right direction by alerting me as to whether something or someone has a good vibe attached to it or not. However, in order to benefit from its guidance I need to trust God and obey--even when it goes against what my own senses or intellect would like me to believe.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not
depend on your own understanding. Seek his
will in all you do, and he will show you which
path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6, NLT)
Dear Sandra, I love this Scripture verse in Proverbs.
ReplyDeleteAnd trust and obey, you are so right. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊
Yes! Trust and obey. Proverbs 3:5-6 is my life verse. It is the one the Lord brings me back to often.
ReplyDeleteSo many amens to this!
ReplyDeleteYes. And it can be hard to tell if it is the Holy Spirit or our own emotions.
ReplyDeleteYes and amen. I try to tune my hearing into His voice. Sometimes its hard due to all the "noise" all around us.
ReplyDeleteThe Big Word is Trust what He is saying to us.

as a person who will read anything, I asked God to protect me in my reading. So now books I shouldn't read have a slimy feel to them. I need to be paying attention, getting the right vibe from books. Kinda like paying attention to the H.S. prompting in our lives eh? Visiting from FMF13
