Heavenly
Guidance!
"Teach me to do Your will,
for You are my God; Your
Spirit is good. Lead me in
the land of uprightness."
Psalm 143: 10
Life coaches employ a tool called life mapping—
drawing on paper from left to right a chronology
of
your life so far: high points, low points, major
events, and so on.
Recording past is easy; recording future is more
challenging. We may not be certain of the future,
but God is. He can provide the direction we need.
The Bible is filled with verses and examples related
to God providing directions for our life—directions
based on God’s goodness and love for us. Jesus
even compared the goodness of earthly fathers to
the goodness of God in providing what we need
(Luke
11:11-13).
God provides guidance and direction
in many ways.
First is Scripture. Then prayer, counsel from associates,
discernment to evaluate circumstances, and peace that
comes when decisions are made in faith (Philippians 4:
6-7). We rest knowing that His guidance will be best.
Do you need God’s direction today?
Seek Him by faith and trust in
the
guidance He provides.
"Men give advice;
God gives
guidance."
