GUIDE ME!

 

Ps 31:3

3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

 

Believers sense the need of guidance from God. Since our conversion we have a connection with the invisible world. There is a silent, unseen partner who both urges us on and restrains our movements. Our rest is often interrupted by a strong urge to move along and our hectic activity is sometimes brought to an abrupt halt by circumstance and a sense of caution. This is guidance and this is what we need.

 

Solomon would soon be king instead of his father David and he felt a strong need of guidance. He felt ill-equipped to lead and he appealed to his Leader.

 

1 Kings 3:7-10

7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in. 8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

 

I sense a strong need of guidance today, perhaps you do too. In fact there is the sense of God’s movement; that He is preparing me for something I am not yet aware. I need guidance, perhaps you do too.

 

Isa 30:21

21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

 

Dear Lord, I feel a bit lost and disoriented today and I need your direction. I long to hear the rustling of your feet as Adam heard in the garden at evening. Please come by thy Spirit and fellowship with me that I might know your heart and follow your way. AMEN
