Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
We all have times in life when we need guidance to know what to do, and which direction to take, especially when they’re big decisions. The good news is God has given us His Word to turn to and if we’re wise we’ll go to Him first before we call on anyone else for advice, and as Christians any advice we do listen to should agree with God’s word.
The best thing we can do is take God’s promises to Him in prayer and ask Him to fulfil them in our own lives because He says He is active and alert watching over His word to perform it.
For instance we can ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom because He is our Counsellor. John 16:13 NLT When the Spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. Notice it says all truth, but we have to take the time to listen.😊
Sometimes we have to take the first step of faith and then the Lord gives us the next one because He wants us to trust Him as we walk along. Proverbs 16:9 NLT We can make our plans but the Lord determines our steps.
Then there will be times when we hear God speak to us down inside our spirit. Isaiah 30:21 NLT Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left. That’s the still small inner voice we need to obey because it will always agree with scripture and will always lead us in peace. We’ll know if it doesn’t, then it’s not God’s voice.
So I hope these verses will help us tune in to God the next time we need to know what to do because God wants us to know the way forward even more than we do, and He will tell us if we get into His Word and listen.😊 Amen.
James 1:5 NKJV If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

ReplyDeleteIt made me smile ☺ about the 'facilities '. Being a person with a poor sense of direction , I know what you mean😊
God gave me a picture once of a rolled up carpet, with about a foot of it unrolled at the end and I was standing on that foot of carpet with roll before me. I felt the Lord saying he will unroll the way forward to us one step at a time with each step we take, but we have to take each step before the way unfolds. ( if that makes sense,).
Thankyou dear friend. Have a blessed day.
Love that picture. Thankyou and God bless you too.😊
