       The Spirit even guides us in the gray areas. Paul said in Romans 14 about the things we approve in our own lives: “Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind” and “The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God” (Romans 14:5, 22, ESV). When we are not sure what we should do in this or that situation, the Holy Spirit helps us know what is pleasing to God. He gives us God’s peace when we are doing right. Colossians 3:15 states, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body” (ESV). When making decisions, we should not follow our emotions, or thoughts we have come up with, but the Spirit’s peace in our hearts. We must not be afraid of being led by the Spirit of God, but rather trust God that he is leading us in the right direction. And this is true even in the gray areas (for more on this, see Romans 14).
