Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and the subject keeps changing to something you didn’t want to talk about? Maybe you’ve wanted to talk to a friend about one thing but God always seems to lead you another direction? You’re not alone. That seems to be what happened to Jude. Jude, Jesus’ brother, wrote a small letter to a fellowship of believers. In verse 3, he writes: “While I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.”
Isn’t it great that Jude followed the leading of the Holy Spirit? He wanted to write about one thing but God led him another direction. If, Jude had not followed the prompting of the Holy Spirit, we would not have verse 24-25. So the next time you’re in a conversation that keeps getting changed, maybe it’s the Holy Spirit prompting you to follow Him. After all, He knows the big picture.
Sometimes, we promote our agenda not His.
