Circle of Trust

I told this story at Q-Source yesterday but I really like it so I thought I would share again. Sorry if you heard it already.

I am currently focusing on the Third F in my life. Amongst other things I am leading Q source weekly which rejoices a level of study. I am participating in a small group that is doing a study called Rooted, which is a foundational study of Christianity. And in my free time I have been listening to Mere Christianity by CS Lewis.

The past two weeks these three things have converged in an amazing way. The topics for both of my studies aligned for the last two weeks (Paryer and Study) and the booked went through a section that talked about the foundations of belief.

In the book CS Lewis talks about the fat that Human kind lives buy higher standards that “the law of nature”. He talks about how mankind separates itself buy not only worrying about survival but also about right and wrong. The example that he uses is how man, knows what the “right” thing to do is but does not always choose that path. He talks about that voice in our head the reminds us of what we ought to do. At this point i  envision the little devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other.

The interesting part is in my study group we were talking about the Holy Spirit and one guy said. Do you think you have ever heard the Holy Spirit, because I have not. We all sat and thought for a minute, then the passage i just discussed came into my head and I had a thought. What if that Angel on your shoulder, IS the Holy Spirit. What if that thing that has been with his all along telling us we don’t need another donut or to not swear at the guy that cut you off, what if that is the Holy Spirit, Then I have been hearing him all along. Maybe everybody else already knew this but to me it was an amazing realization.

So as you go out the rest of the day and into your week. Give a little more attention to the voice, that angel on your shoulder. For whether you are Christian, Jew, Muslim or Other that little voice is there encouraging you to the right path you just need to listen.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father
