GOD AS A GUIDE
Read Isaiah 58:11
What will God do for you always? God is always at work. He is always there to help and guide you. Life can be scary sometimes because you don’t know your future, but God will help you walk that path He made for you step by step
A LAMP FOR YOUR FEET
Read Psalm 119:105.
How is God’s Word described? Have you ever gone camping and used a lantern to guide you on a dark trail? The lantern doesn’t light the entire path, it just lights the area around your feet. It’s perfect because you know exactly where you should and shouldn’t step. This is exactly how God promises to guide you with His Word. His Word is able to light your path one step at a time. You don’t have to worry about what is ahead in your life, just focus on how God’s Word is guiding you today. If you do, even though there might be bumps in the road, you will know where to step and eventually get where God wants you to go safely. What is God teaching you today? How has God guided you using His Word this year? How has His guidance helped you take steps?
GOD’S ROAD MAP
Read 2 Corinthians 5:17
What does God promise to do for you? Fill in the Blank: God will counsel you with a ___________ eye on you. God has a plan for you and He will help you accomplish it. God can see you and watches you with a loving eye. He will help you make decisions and will point you in the right direction. He will even pick you up when you fall, brush off the dust, and fix what is broken. He loves you and will guide you. Has God ever picked you up when you have failed or fallen? What did He do? Do you trust God to show you what He wants you to do? Do you think it takes patience to trust God to guide you?
OPEN THE ROAD MAP
Read Psalm 25:9
Who does God guide/lead? Who does God teach? God promises to guide you, but you must have the right attitude to listen and follow His guidance. A humble person listens and obeys. A humble person is a person who does not think their own way is better than God’s. They can put their own desires aside and put God as #1. God will give you guidance, but you have to receive it. It’s like a road map. A road map will give you all the direction you want, but if you don’t use it, it can’t help you. You will be able to follow God’s guidance if you have a heart that is humble. Do you believe your way is better than God’s way? How can you have a humble heart and listen to God today?
