Think of the progress humanity has made when it comes to guidance. We’ve graduated from navigating by terrestrial signpost to celestial signpost to rough-drawn maps to sophisticated makes to digital maps. Today, with devices that fit in one hand, we can get directions to anywhere we want to go-and a voice tot ell us when to turn.
The ease with which we are guided today may make us respect the process of gaining guidance from God about life’s decisions. We want him to direct our paths-and He will-but the means to that end involves trusting Him, leaning on Him instead in all our ways. Those are not “click here for directions”. Instructions, but disciplines we develop over time. God’s guidance is a fruit of our intimacy and faithfulness to Him.
Because God is good, He gives us the gift of His guidance. If you need guidance today, continue to trust Him, lean on Him, and acknowledge Him in your ways.
