This patience is hard to work into our fast-paced work and private lives. We are conditioned to make decisions quickly, and not pause and appeal to the HS to guide us in those choices. However, when we pray that the Spirit will be our counselor in “all our ways” (cf Psalm 73:24 and Proverbs 3:6) we are seeking the wisdom that comes from God alone as a critical input in our decision making. When we maintain close communion with the HS during the day, this pause to hear that voice whisper “this is the walk, walk ye in it” will become more and more clear and present to us. I am not trying to be obtuse here, but I guess the closest I can come to succinctly describing the process is this Bible verse:
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13.
The more time I spend contemplating the love of God revealed in scripture and evident in my experience, the more I seek Him with an undivided heart. God wants each of us to “find” him.
