Have a tough decision to make?

So last night my professor was talking about how in the book of Acts the Spirit stopped Paul from preaching. (Acts 16: 6-7) Now that might sound weird that the Spirit would stop anyone from preaching. We really didn't get into why the Spirit stopped Paul but more of how the Spirit stopped Paul. The majority of the class responded to the idea that it just wasn't time for those people to hear what Paul had to say and that the Spirit closed the door. These ideas could be true, we really don't know but my professor asked us how did Paul know not to preach? He believes that Paul probably didn't have an inner peace, Paul just knew and felt that things were not right. As soon as he said that I was encouraged. A few day ago I made a decision that I felt that I had to make. It was a tough one and I knew I would hurt someone but I couldn't see any other way around it. Before I called off a relationship I was in I had this feeling inside of me that couldn't be ignored. I prayed and sought out guidance from God and my support team. As I thought about this decision that needed to be made it just felt like my Spirit wouldn't be at peace until I did what I had to do. So I trusted in the Lord and believed that He wouldn't lead me down the wrong path. After I made the decision to call off the relationship I had a peace. Even though I felt bad because I hurt someone this peace that really didn't make sense at the time was filling me. As this was happening I was reminded of a scripture that I want to share with you:
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I know that this is what I just went through but I believe that many of us are facing similar situations whether it be work, school, or any thing that is requiring you to make a tough decision in your life. There's a saying that evryone knows; trust your instinct. I believe that but this is how I look at it. I trust my instinct because it's the Holy Spirit in me that is leading me to do so. Remember in the Gospels Jesus calls the Spirit the helper so let the Spirit help you with those tough decisions in your life and gage your decision by that perfect peace that transcends all understanding. Here's the easy way to put it. If there's peace then you are probably doing what God would want you to, if there's not peace you probably should reconsider your decision.
So my prayer for us today is that we would allow the Spirit, the helper, to help us with our tough decision in life. I pray that we trust in the Spirit and not ignore the Spirit in our decisions. I pray for strength and faith for us to let God be God.
