Confusion was never meant to be part of the believer’s experience. It is not our portion, not our design, not our inheritance. From the very beginning, God never intended that we would journey through life by the sheer power of our intellect or the calculations of our brains.
We were not created to navigate life through guesswork. The Bible doesn’t say, “As many as think rightly are the sons of God.” No; it says: “As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” (Romans 8:14)
Let that sink in. You were designed to be LED, not left to figure things out. You were designed to FOLLOW, not just to figure. You were designed to be carried by insight from above, not driven by logic from within.
So, if confusion has become your companion, then something has gone terribly wrong. The question is not whether the Holy Spirit has stopped speaking. The real question is: Have we stopped listening?
Because the Spirit of God is not silent. He is still searching the deep things of God. He is still revealing the mind of God to the sons of God. He is still whispering the way forward in the midst of the fog.
But maybe… maybe we have grown used to surviving without Him. We’ve learned how to function without fire. How to move without the wind. How to build without the breath of God. And now, we confuse being busy with being led.
Dear HeartChecker, could it be that we’ve substituted strategy for surrender? That we’re asking for direction with our lips but already holding tightly to our preferred outcomes in our hearts? Could it be that confusion is not the absence of answers, but the result of resisting the One who gives them?
This is not condemnation; it’s a call home. Because the Holy Spirit doesn’t just want to visit you on Sundays or whisper in crisis moments. He wants to walk with you daily. Guide you hourly. Speak to you continually. But you must give Him the space. You must make room to listen. You must slow down enough to hear His whisper.
Confusion ends where communion begins. And when the Spirit leads, peace follows.
