How does one tell if it’s the Holy Spirit?
Sometimes when I’m enjoying a hobby, I worry that God will make me quit, and this thought has constantly been terrorising me for awhile. Even when the hobby is sinless, and something I can enjoy with friends from church, I worry that one day God will just be like “nope, quit because I said so”. Yesterday I prayed that I will follow God’s plans, and that I surrender my plans and everything including some of my hobbies/things I enjoy doing. (Basketball, videogames, going to the gym, going to church, hanging out with friends, etc) until today, I got a thought that was like “what if God made you choose to quit one of your hobbies, which one would it be?” I first disregarded this as just a thought but then later I remembered when God told Abraham to sacrifice his own son. And soon I started to worry that God is making me choose one of my hobbies to give up, and I’m stressed about it. Is this my own overthinking or God calling me to give something to him? I feel like it’s less about giving up a hobby of mine because it’s sinful, but I feel like “what if God wants me to give up something to show how much I love him?” I don’t feel drawn to give up a particular hobby, just one of them. I don’t know why, it may just be my own overthinking. It’s more like sacrificing something of value to God as an act of faith. I personally think this is my overthinking, so I’m at the moment I’m just waiting until this thought stops worrying me, but what do you guys think?
