You hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory, Psalm 73:23-24 NIV.
Whether we are getting married, buying a house, seeking service for the Lord, or making career decisions, we need God's guidance to help us make the right decisions. God is eager to lead us, and He wants us to make wise decisions. Throughout our lives, He extends His guiding hand to give us counsel and direction.
Some Christians have difficulty seeking direction and knowing God's will. Some of us believe only the "super spiritual" Christians can know His will. Guidance is a priceless promise available to all His children. He loves us equally and unconditionally. His watchful eye can guide us through our earthly pilgrimage to help fulfill His purpose for our lives.
When seeking guidance, it is essential that we are fully surrendered to His will. God knows what is best for us, and He knows what we truly need. He makes no mistakes.
This is a time to embrace God's Word and hold it close to our hearts. God will never lead us to do anything contrary to His written Word. Spending time with the Lord in quietness and stillness will allow Him to speak to our hearts. This is a glorious time to get closer to the Lord and strengthen our walk with Him.
If His plans are not clear to us, we need to wait on His timing. We must let God set the pace. Trust His perfect timing. Working behind the scenes, His hand of providence is shaping events and working out details that are necessary to bring about His will. As His will unfolds, He brightens our paths, so we can see more clearly. Guidance is a promise of God. He is faithful to keep His promises.
PRAYER
Father, how gladdening it is that you provide guidance and counsel throughout our lives. Thank you for loving us and taking an active part in our lives. In Jesus name. Amen.
