We must practice discerning the voice of God so that we’re only acting on things He’s really saying. Nothing is much more exhausting and discouraging than waving our spiritual courage around based on our own best guesses. You and I can’t just decide what we want God to do, choose to act on it, then get frustrated when He doesn’t respond. We must wait to hear Him, stay faithful to the principles of Scripture, and then follow His leading. This is what it means to walk by the Spirit.
