"He MAKES me to lie down in green pastures; He LEADS me beside the still waters."
In essence, the LORD makes me by leading me.
God makes us by leading us by His Spirit.
The LORD said to Saul that the reason He appeared unto Him in a vision was to MAKE HIM become a minister and a witness.
Acts 26:16
But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, TO MAKE YOU a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you.
Again we can see that the reason for divine guidance and divine revelation is for our making.
Jesus also said that if we follow Him( by following the leading of His Spirit), He will MAKE us become fishers of men.
Mark 1:17
Then Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."
Making us to become more like Himself is one of the reasons God leads us by His Spirit.
Hence any thought that encourages us to talk like Christ, act like Christ or become more like Christ, is the leading of the Spirit of God.
Shalom
