Often, we want to ignore the Spirit\u2019s guidance, but we don\u2019t grow until we learn the lesson. The sooner we submit to Jesus, the straighter our paths will become. But ignoring God will lead us on crooked paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the right path will require more effort, but you won\u2019t regret the work. A pure heart and clear conscience lead to a good night\u2019s sleep after walking the path of righteousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to the Spirit\u2019s promptings, and let God keep you on the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1-300x39.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lord, forgive us for ignoring Your promptings.
