The Reliable Guide

The Reliable Guide

You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you. If you have the Shepherd, you have grace for every sin, direction for every turn, a candle for every corner, and an anchor for every storm. You have everything you need.

Max Lucado

There’s a beautiful rhythm in the way we walk together. As I hold your hand on the uneven path that each day brings, I find you leaning closer, depending upon the direction I provide regarding which way to turn. You’ve learned an important principle: to seek My will about your use of time—in daily activities and in the major commitments that involve a long-term investment of your energy. Sometimes you ask Me for specific guidance, and you find answers in My Word or through the wisdom of My people.

I’m watching your passion for making wise choices increase. I’m also pleased to see you applying what you’ve learned from Scripture in your day-to-day decisions. Your focal point is moving away from the comforts of this world and toward Christ. You are developing a purposeful, determined mind-set that desires to accomplish My mission. You’re talking to Me often, seeking My leadership, and aligning your goals with Mine. The road is narrow, and some people don’t understand your choices, but that’s okay. My presence will go with you. Your final destination is heaven, and My Spirit is a reliable guide.

GOD said, “My presence will go with you. I’ll see the journey to the end.”

Exodus 33:14, MSG
