The question presents itself: In what manner and to what extent can we expect the direction of God in our work? We cannot expect visible and sensible interventions; but we can expect with certainty the care and direction of God by His Spirit in the heart, if we walk with Him.
I do not doubt that if we walk with God and look to Him, the Spirit will put into our hearts the special things that He wishes us to do. Only it is important that we keep in memory the Word of God, in order that it may be a guard against all our own imaginations; otherwise the Christian who lacks humility will do his own will, often taking it for the Holy Spirit. This is the deceitful folly of his heart.
But I repeat, he who looks with humility to the Lord, will be conducted by the Lord in the way; and the Holy Spirit who dwells in him will suggest to him the things which He wishes him to do.
