Asking the Right Questions

 "Now that you are graduating from high school, what do you plan to do next?"

As a pastor, I would sometimes say that to a young person in order to show a personal interest in his life.

In retrospect, I should have asked, "Now that you are graduating from high school, how do you sense God is leading your life?"

The first question has to do with what he wants to do.  The second has to do with God's leading in his life. These are two different questions.  The first question already gets asks a lot.  The second needs to be asked more often.  After all, who are Christians if not a Spirit-led Spirit-filled people?
