“The desire for such a subjective sense of leading, however, is too often, in contemporary evangelical piety, binding our brothers and sisters in Christ, paralyzing them from enjoying the good choices that God may provide, and causing them to wait wrongly before acting.”
That is an interesting point. This was a common occurrence at my old church, where many seemed incapable of making decisions because they didn’t “feel” God’s leading and were therefore left in a paralysed state, unable to do anything. I don’t think this is the way God intends for us to live our lives. God acts through our choices and gives us the freedom to choose – he will clearly let us know when we’ve made the wrong choice (just look at the decisions made by the various OT Kings and their results). Unless a choice clearly countermands Scripture, you should feel free to make it whether or not you feel lead by the Spirit (note that approaching your decision with prayer and asking for God’s blessing upon is still recommended!).
