The sons, daughters of God are simply led by the Spirit of God in their hearts. The answer unto the question, “Unto where is the Spirit of God leading?” is found within the heart-cry of our spirits, “Abba, Abon! Father, our Father!” This is where… unto Whom… the Spirit of God is leading us all! There is no need for “New Year’s Resolutions” because those things are vanity; nothing more than glorified “Honey-Do Lists,” fresh attempts at outward, behavioral modifications, the weight under which we cannot bear to remain upright and healthy. Religion is always guilting people to try to measure up to some standard that we cannot keep; then judging and condemning us when (not if) we fail. Yet, what is this, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds,” and again, “Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.” So much activity today, so little fruit. There are many people today who are wondering why God “seems so silent”. But we have turned the profoundness of hearing His voice into a form of entertainment and amusement; even creating for ourselves little “God notebooks,” which we develop over time for the purpose of publishing and making a financial profit. These things should not be. The Older Prodigal Son heard his Father’s voice, and obeyed; except when it came to his Father’s invitation to enter into The Feast of Tabernacles, loving his own brother with the very love of his own Father. Here is the profound idea toward the end of Solomon’s Song; the true Bride wanting to hear Her Husband’s voice, while He is waiting for Her world, for Her environment, to hear Hers!…; because, She is His Voice and Body!
