“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way you should go.” Is 48:17

Guidance Is Essential

The path of life is so full of intersections that are unfamiliar to us; hence travel would be easier if we get a proper guidance that we can trust and follow. Through Prophet Isaiah, God volunteers to be our guide of life: “Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, ‘I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way you should go.’” (Is 48:17). His love for the children is very great, and that is why He keeps His eye upon us every moment of our lives, as written by the psalmist, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you” (Ps 32:8). Trust in His providence and unfailing guidance should encourage us to pray along with David, “Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life” (Ps 143:8). May we get His guidance and instructions before we make every move. 

 

Abba, thank You for being our guide, who knows the way and shows the way. Let Your Spirit give us humility to accept Your guidance and proceed further, in Jesus’ Most Wonderful Name, Amen.
