Question

How can we bu sure that we are under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in our daily decisions?

Answer 1

Pray to the holy spirit to swim a fast race.

Answer 2

Interesting question for the swimming and diving category!  

For me, daily decisions need to be made in light of the full counsel  of scripture recognizing that there are areas of freedom we have and God allows us to choose. There are also different categories of decisions.  What I wear and which route I take to the office is not something I spend time worrying about - there is freedom there.  How I respond to criticism, offer advise, etc. should reflect the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23).  Those type situations is where I need God's wisdom to help me choose wisely.

Answer 3

You're way off base here. Unless the holy spirit dominates in the pool.

Answer 4

Do not get too caught up in whether you're being inspired by the Holy Spirit.

If you truly believe in your religion, I think you are already being inspired, such as being inspired to be the type of person described in your scripture.

Based on everything you know now, simply follow your heart. Do what you feel is right. Sure, we are all going to make mistakes, but we will learn from them, becoming less likely to repeat them in the future.

So, follow your heart in your daily decisions; it should lead you in the right direction.

Answer 5

We can't.  We need to use our own moral standards and sense of right and wrong to guide what we do.

But, why is this in the swimming and diving category?
