Your will be done.

The story is told of a certain guide who lived in the deserts of Arabia, but who never lost his way.  He carried, with him a homing pigeon, to the leg of which he had attached a very fine, but strong, cord.  Whenever he was in doubt as to which path he should follow, he would throw the bird up into the air.  It, of course, quickly strained at the cord in order to fly in the direction of home, thus leading the guide accurately to his goal.  Because of this unique practice, the guide was known as "the dove man".

Before a man (or a woman!) is made spiritually alive, he walks "... following the course of this world ...", lured by the evil "... spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience." (Eph.2:1-2).  However, after having experienced the regenerating power of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ, he is given new and holy longings and desires, and is empowered to do the things of God as he is divinely led.  God the Holy Spirit (the Third Persona of the Trinity), Who is the heavenly Dove, continually bears witness, through the written Word, regarding the path that should be pursued if he wants to reach the heights of victory and full blessing.  The real danger for the believer comes when he caters for the flesh, and stops seeking the Lord's will for his life.

All of us who claim to be disciples of Jesus ought to be 'dove men (or women)' - sensitive, and fully responsive, to our heavenly Guide, Who tugs at our hearts through both the 'strings of circumstance' and the direction of the Word.  There is a valid prayer in the words of the old hymn:

"Holy Spirit, faithful Guide;
Ever near the Christian's side.
Gently lead me by the hand;
Pilgrim in this desert land." (Marcus M.Wells;1858)

... and a thought:
Don't hinder the Spirit's leading - unsatisfied lives are caused by unsurrendered wills!
