He Guides

Even though the Lord may allow you to go through a season of hardship and difficulty, he himself will be there with you. He will not hide himself from you, for your eyes will constantly see him as your Teacher. When you turn to the right or turn to the left, you will hear his voice behind you to guide you, saying, “This is the right path; follow it.” — Isaiah 30:20-21 (TPT) In all of our trials and tribulations, Yahweh is always with us, and He shows us the right path to take. Listen to His voice above all others. He will guide you in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. (See Psalms 23:3) “Yes, this is our God, our great God forever. He will lead us onward until the end, through all time, beyond death, and into eternity!” (Psalms 48:14 TPT) Just as we listen to the GPS in our vehicles to get us where we want to go, we need to listen to the voice of our heavenly Father to get to our desired destination in life. And just as the GPS re-routes us when we miss a turn, so our heav...

He Leads & Guides

If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me. — Psalms 139:9-10 (NASB1995) No matter where you are, our heavenly Father is aware of the situation and He is with you. In Psalms 139:5 David asks: “ Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? ” Psalms 139:10-11 (TPT) says: “Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me. It’s impossible to disappear from you or to ask the darkness to hide me, for your presence is everywhere, bringing light into my night.” If you have wandered away, He will lead you back onto the right path, that leads to life, and life more abundantly. Let us be ever grateful that we are never out of His reach. Even when we are lost in the darkness, Yahweh knows where we are, His hand is on us and He will guide us back to Him and into His marvelous light. We just need to be obedient and follow. “You’ve gone into my...

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” — Psalm 32:8 (NLT) Instead of insisting on doing things our own way, let us always seek the counsel of the LORD. His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts. (See Isaiah 55:9) Our heavenly Father wants what is best for His children, like any good parent. And He is faithful to show us the way. Psalm 23:3 (NLT) says He guides us along right paths, bringing honor to His name. Let us be committed to following His lead. In Him, we are to live, move and have our being…for we are His offspring. (See Acts 17:28 NKJV) So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. (Galatians 5:16 NLT) Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. (Galatians 5:25 NLT)

Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me . — Psalm 23:3-4 (NLT) No matter how dark the valley we go through, the LORD, our Shepherd, is with us. He is close to us, and will never abandons us.

The LORD is my Shepherd

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. — Psalm 23:1-3 (NASB) When the LORD is our Shepherd, He will provide all that we need. Our heavenly Father is a good Father, He always provides for the needs of His children, and constantly takes care of us. Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He laid His life down for the sheep (John 10:11). When the storms of life come, the LORD leads us beside quiet waters. He is our inner peace, in every chaotic situation. He leads us along on the right paths, however, we must choose to follow Him. When we make the decision to follow Him, He will take us higher and deeper, and from glory to glory. He continually restores and revives our lives, day by day. God pours out new compassions and mercies upon us, each and every morning. (Lamentations 3:22-23) If God is indeed the Lord of our lives, goodness a...

Instead of trying to figure everything out on our own, we can just keep following Jesus, our Good Shepherd and we shall not want. Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. (Psalm 100:3 NKJV) Not only has God created us—a gracious act of love in and of itself—but He has made us His own people. He has chosen us and loved us. (from the VOICE Bible) In John 10:11 Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His lif...

He Sees You

Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the LORD, who had spoken to her. She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said, “Have I truly seen the One who sees me?” — Genesis 16:13 (NLT) Our heavenly Father sees us. We can take comfort in the fact that His eye is upon us. The Amplified Bible says, He sees us with understanding and compassion (Genesis 16:13). The LORD watches over us because He cares for us. He guides us and strengthens us as we go. Thank God that He never leaves our side. O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your streng...

Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! — Psalm 107:28-31 (NKJV) Our heavenly Father will be your calm in the midst of the storm.

“I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.” — John 10:14-15 (NKJV) Jesus is the good shepherd. He gave His life for us. A hireling, he who is not the shepherd… will abandon the sheep when he sees the wolf coming; and the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. (John 10:12-13.) But Jesus gathers us to Himself. When trouble comes, He is by our side. He lifts us up out of the ditches and pitfalls of life and carries us close to Him. He lets us rest in green meadows; he leads us beside peaceful streams. He renews our strength. He guides us along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (Psalm 23:2-3 NLT) With the Lord as our shepherd, we have all that we need.

He Lives Among Us

“For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” — Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT) The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.

Do Your Best

Follow Him and He will show you the path that leads to a more abundant life. May our lives bring glory and honor to His name.

In Him, We LIVE!

Image
For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, for we are also His offspring. — Acts 17:28 (AMP) Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture (Psalm 100:3 NKJV). God created us in His own image (Genesis 1:27 NKJV), with a purpose and plan for our lives. We are His offspring, and He watches over us. As long as we remain IN HIM, He protects us, guides us, strengthens us and gives us wisdom. Anything we have outside of Him is merely rubbish and will disintegrate in the fire. What we build in Him, will last forever.

Are You Listening?

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.   — James 1:19-20 (NIV) Slow your roll on anger and taking offense. The Message Bible says to post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. May we be quick to listen to others with the intention of gaining understanding, not to build our defense. Let us also keep our ears open to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit within us, as He leads and guides us. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!

Speak of His Awesome Acts

Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness.  — Psalm 145:6 (NKJV) He turned the sea into dry land so His people could escape from their enemies. He kept Daniel safe in the den of lions. He delivered His faithful servants from the fiery furnace. Their garments didn't even smell like smoke. This is the mighty, awesome God we serve! He does not change. He still guides His people safely through the storms. Tell others about the great things God has done in your life. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised!

Lead Me, Lord!

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. — Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT) The LORD leads us beside quiet waters, He refreshes our souls. He guides us along the right paths for His name’s sake (Psalm 23:2-3). The LORD shows us the path of life (Psalm 16:11). Let us faithfully and humbly follow our heavenly Father and He will lead us into a future that is exceedingly abundantly above all that we dare ask or even imagine.
