David was often in flight from the enemy for his life,
depending on God’s lovingkindness and knowledge for the right paths to travel: “Cause
me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in Thee do I trust: cause me
to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee” (Psalm
143:8. But all the love and guidance God afforded would have been useless had
he ignored God’s care and guiding instructions.
The Holy Spirit, living within everyone surrendered to the lordship of Jesus Christ, is not an auto-fixer, automatically fixing life’s mistakes. When He finds and exposes weak spots or faults, believers must choose to accept His findings and make the needed corrections by God’s grace or reject them. Even users of today’s software with the auto-correct feature must turn on the function to access the help then choose to accept or refuse the suggested changes. Though our Father never abandons His children, those who challenge Him face reprimand, but He delights with them who receive and follow His instructions that are always for our best.
