The Word: Conviction

The word "conviction"is a Holy Spirit lead of situations and living that we learn from the Word of God, through others that God uses and any other sources that God will use that causes life experiences and hard thinking or meditation. For Dietrich Bonhoeffer, his convictions were expressed as a 'yes' to what God had in store for him, knowing full well that it could (and did) lead him to death at the hands of the Nazis. My answer is this, Holy Spirit directs our steps without "telling" us. Romans 8:28-29 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Proverbs 20:24 How can we understand the road we travel? It is the LORD who directs our steps. In Proverbs 16:9 We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps. Proverbs 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases. Jeremiah 10:23 I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps. I will stick with God's word since 2 Timothy 3:16 says "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." I will trust GOD for directing me where he wanted me to go. I just follow the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
