- When we wait on Him, He will give us insight into our situation - since He sees all things, He knows what steps we are to take. We may be surprised at the instruction, though, for His ways are not like our human ones.(Isaiah 55:8 - 9) When people hurt us badly, God's Spirit will remind us that vengeance is the Lord's; our part is to live at peace with them. (Romans 12:17 - 19)
- As we meditate on Scripture, His Spirit will show us the relevance of God's Word to our problem. We may be faced with someone making unreasonable financial demands of us. How are we to respond? God may tell us to meet the request or even to give extra in order to bless that person.(Matthew 5:40 - 41)
- The Holy Spirit gives us spiritual promptings to guide our actions and decisions.
Psalm 32:1 - 8
Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the LORD— and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him. You are my hiding-place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.
