Change of Plans

What does it mean to be “led by the Spirit” when the Spirit wants to change our plans? How do we respond? Can we legitimately be a follower of Jesus if we are unwilling to be “led by the Spirit” into change we didn’t ask for? God always has a reason, even if we are left to view it through the clearer vision of looking back at “all that God has done.” We don’t always know why at first, but when we are lovingly obedient to the call of God, He will work out everything for our good and for His glory. Jesus doesn’t call Himself, “Lord of the Harvest,” for nothing!
