There was definitely limits placed on what this phrase conveys. Anything bringing reproach to God’s Name is not what Solomon meant. Nor was he condoning allowing our sinful nature to just run rampant. In I Samuel 10, Samuel anointed Saul and then gave him specific instructions and, “Once these signs (bestowal of the Spirit) are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you.” (I Samuel 10:7) In other words, “Listen to what the Spirit within you is telling you to do, Saul.” Throughout the life as a Believer we’ll find ourselves in the same place as Saul…”What do You want me to do now, Lord? There’s so many good ways to serve You…but what is the very best for me? ” That’s when we need to listen to the Spirit’s still small voice, obey, and then follow the advice of Colossians 3:23, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not men.”
