Seek God's Direction
This also comes from the Lord of hosts, who is
wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance
Isaiah 28:29
Do you trust God to lead you in a way that is beneficial-a manner
that is absolutely best for you? If you're like a lot of believers, you
say you do, but your actions may tell a different story.
Often we may say we believe the Lord is all-wise and knows
what is best for us, but then we look for advise from people around
us. Our pride or refusal to be open to His plan can bring misery
and regret.
My friend, listen: only one Person has absolute knowledge, and
that is the Lord. And He has promised to provide all the guidance
you need. You can worry, fret, and fume about an issue that God
has already dealt with-and continue to be miserable. But if you
will set your heart to trust Him, He will help you obey Him each
and every time. He will guide you step by step, even when you don't
see His omnipotent hand.
Lord, the next time I start to turn to friends
for direction, stop me! I want to hear from
You first to know my certain path, amen.
