TRUST IN HIS GUIDANCE – Pastor Chris
Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go (Isaiah 48:17).
One of my most frequent declarations, even when I’m not consciously thinking about it is what David said in Psalm 23:3, “…he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” I have learned to rely on the Lord’s guidance, and to trust that wherever I am is exactly where I should be.
Consider what we read in our opening scripture; what an assurance! God is committed to your success, and He ensures you win all the time by giving you the guidance you need. Another scripture to ponder is Psalm 32:8; here, God says, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” That’s His Word!
Then He adds, “…he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about” (Psalm 32:10). Be confident in this truth. Perhaps you’re in a situation where you need direction or the mercy of God; know that it isn’t far away from you. Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
As you go out today, remember that His grace and mercy are with you, propelling you in the path that you should go. Trust in His unfailing love and mercy. Trust in His Word and acknowledge His presence in your life. Declare that you walk in the paths of righteousness, led by the Holy Spirit, and that His grace empowers you to live victoriously. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your unfailing love and mercy. I trust in your Word and acknowledge your presence in my life. I declare that I walk in paths of righteousness, led by your Spirit, and I am always in the right place at the right time. Your grace empowers me to live victoriously every day. Thank you for teaching me to profit and for leading me in the way I should go, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
