The Sure Leading

The Sure Leading

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Psalm 32:8 [NIV]

Bible Reading: Psalm 32:8-10

God desires to guide and lead His children. He wants to give His children specific instructionsand directions for their lives. God’s sure leading can be likened to a tour guide in a museum. I prefer having a tour guide to provide context, guide me and at times make recommendations. The guide can also look for me if I get lost. There was a time I wandered off the trail when I visited a zoo. I was lost until the tour guide noticed and searched for me. Life journey can be scary especially when we do not have a compass or guide by our side. One of the benefits we enjoy in Christ Jesus is divine guidance. God guides us through his word because the wisdom that comes from the undiluted word of God is astonishing. He speaks to us in diverse ways and we are instructed on what to do.

God is a loving father and He is good. He has promised to guide us in life and in destiny only if we ask and obey Him. God respects your self-will and He will not take what you do not give Him. To access God’s guidance, we have to know Him, walk with Him, and be humble to take counsel from Him. It is important to ask God questions, be sensitive to His leading, be honest with Him and listen to Him. Genuine divine leading is God’s promise because as many that are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God (Romans 8:14). May the Lord give unto us yielding hearts and listening ears.

Self-Reflection: A yielded heart and a listening ear are needed in accessing God’s leading.

Action Point: Take a deliberate effort to present your situation to God for His leading.

Daily Confession: Lord, I surrender to your leading.

Intercessory prayer: May God’s peace reign across our nations.

Hymn: Lord lead me up and let me stand

By faith on heaven stable land

Higher plane that I have found

Lord plant my feet on higher ground.
