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 had a connection with the Holy Spirit. He is our silent, unseen partner who both urges us on and restrains our movements. Our rest is sometimes 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.

 

Perhaps you sense God’s movement, that He is preparing you for something you are 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, we, like Solomon, are not equipped to direct our own steps. We need your guidance today. AMEN
