Psalm 119:35 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
When you go to a tourist attraction, do you walk around blindly or do you follow the guides who are there to help and explain things?
Why should we then walk blindly through life if we have ready access to someone who is willing and able to guide us in every step?
God wants us to listen to His guidance through the Holy Spirit...
Psalm 48:9 Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.
Finding it difficult to focus on God’s Word? Have you tried finding a quiet spot to just stop and think?
Quite often our minds are racing full of things we should be doing and stopping to focus on the here and now can be difficult.
Taking time out of your day to stop and wait is a good place to be – it helps us to focus on the Holy Spirit and His guidance.
2 Kings 17:7 All this took place because the Israelites had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of Egypt from under the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They worshipped other gods
We see how Israel sinned many times over many years and how God got angry, not because they did little things wrong but because they were worshipping other gods.
But every time God was angry, He was also setting time aside to wait for them to return to Him.
God faithfully kept His promise to them no matter what happened even when they worshipped other gods.
That is the measure of God’s love for us!
Psalm 42:11 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God.
How many times have you been really worried about what is going to happen – like when you go to hospital in an ambulance…
Once again I was taken into hospital 11 days ago after being taken ill. Once again I placed my trust in Christ and the doctors. Once again I came out!
It is hard, especially when you have nearly died a few times before; but Christ’s faithfulness always comes through!
