Human Instinct - How does it relate to God.


Instinct, we can feel this almost every minute of our life. So what is this in our life?
For example, when you are planning to do an activity, you instinct can reflect that in a different way. 
  • You are planning to go for a long ride in your bike, but your human instinct is restricting that idea or the plan is postponed by some work or by someone. 
  • You are planning do something in a way and your instinct is guiding you to a different end result. 
So what are these? These are the ways we will be guided by God. As humans we need God's guidance all times. God can come to us through other person, which is not possible all times. So God is communicating to us through our instinct. Listen to your instinct and follow it. You will be walking in the right path to your eternal goal. 

The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time (Jonah 3:1). So if we are not listening to your instinct then God will still come to us in other means. He will not forsake us at any time.

Follow Me (Luke 5:27)

"Follow Me", these two words had changed the whole like of Simon the Levi. He understood and realize the importance of these words and followed him. 


These words are not only come from God. It can come in any ways in the world. You can be called to follow your money or wealth or power etc etc. Everyone or everything in the world like to have other following them [like twitter :)]. 


There will be hundreds of 'Follow Me' calls around us, but how are we going to identify the best. 


Lets pray to Holy Spirit for his third gift (Counsel) which will help us to identify the best and right 'Follow Me' request.
