Romans 8:12-17, Galatians 5:16-18
Memory Verse:
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Romans 8:14).
Traffic lights, traffic signals, or stoplights are signalling devices positioned at road intersections, pedestrian crossings, and other locations in order to control the flow of traffic. There are usually three colours used in traffic signals – red, green and yellow. The red light tells drivers to stop, the green light means drivers can start driving or keep driving, while the yellow light tells drivers to get ready to stop because the light is about to turn red.
There are also Inner “traffic lights” signalling to us what to do per time, when to stop, when to get ready, when to move etc. The old-timers in the faith would say, “I always watch for the ‘checks’ in my spirit!” Inner traffic lights are checks the Holy Spirit brings in our hearts to alert us. You are a new creature with a new spiritual nature that is “alive unto God,” equipped to sense God moving
within you. We actually need the counsel of wise and mature Christians as this can be of great help, but the last word must be spoken in our own heart. “It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfil His good purpose” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). If your will is surrendered to God, He is at work in you directing your will and behaviours.
Believe it, because He declares it! He will give you the “red light” when He wants you to stop, and the “green light” when He wants you to go. Do not go on red! Do not stop on green!
Prayer Points:
1. Holy Spirit, please turn on my inner traffic lights.
2. Help me Holy Spirit, to be sensitive and obedient to my inner traffic lights.
