(Proverbs 16:9 AMP) We have no problem following the GPS to get where we want to go. However, we sometimes hesitate and question the steps Yahweh directs us to take. Know that Yahweh’s plans for you are good, for peace and well-being. May you follow His instructions to get to the glorious destination He has for you.

We are on the earth for such a time as this. Seek Yahweh while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55:6 LSB) You will seek Him and find Him when you search for Him with all your heart. (See Jeremiah 29:13) The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there are any who understand (act wisely), who [truly] seek after God, [lo...

  Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name; Make known His acts among the peoples. — 1 Chronicles 16:8 (LSB) It is good to give thanks to Yahweh and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; (Psalms 92:1 LSB)  Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, let us make a loud shout to Him with songs of praise.

Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises. Our lives are in his hands, and he keeps our feet from stumbling. — Psalms 66:8-9 (NLT) When you go through deep waters, He will be with you.

(See 1 Thessalonians 5:17 & James 5:16 NASB1995) Keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking. “For the eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears attend to their prayer, but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12 NASB1995)
