He Is Our Guiding Light

Isaiah 42:16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

When it come to knowing the future, we are clueless. We are blind to what life will bring not just the next year or ten years, but tomorrow. Our best plans can be wiped away in the blink of an eye. We plan for the future and set goals because it is good to be prepared and ready to be used of God wherever He leads us. But God may take us down a road that we did not expect and leads us down paths that are unknown to us. We take counsel in knowing that He will light the way before us and will keep us from straying off the path. He sees the pot holes that are ahead and directs us safely around them. We need not fear the unknown if we have put our trust in the God who knows all our tomorrows. He will not forsake us in our time of uncertainty, but will make the darkness light and guide us through this journey of life.

Gentle Shepherd

Isaiah 40:11 1 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

“Gentle Shepherd, come and lead us, help us find our way” We live in a world where on every side we are bombarded with conflicting opinions. The authority of God’s Word continues to be challenged by skeptics and by those who desire to be a god unto themselves. On the right, are those who would bind us with chains of legalism and have you live according to a set of rules beyond what God requires. On the left is the ever danger of every man doing what is right in their own eyes, living to please and satisfy the lust of the flesh. Without a shepherd to guide and led us, we are easily led astray to follow a path that will led us to destruction. If there is ever a day that we need a shepherd, today is the day. “Gentle Shepherd, there is no other who can show us the way and lead us into life eternal” 

God Is There

Psalm 139:10 “even there shall Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand shall hold me.”- 

No matter what we may be going through, or where we are in life, God is there. Even there, God desires to guide us and lead us. There is no situation in life that is able to hide the love of God from us. Yes, there are some places that God does not want us to go because they could lead us into darkness, but even then, He is there with His Spirit convicting and speaking. “Come back my Child”. Any heart that desire to hear from God, He will not hold Himself back. As insignificant as we are in this vast universe, God desires to have a relationship with His creation. He will go out of His way to seek us out, but we must be willing to go where He leads. When He leads us there, He will not leave us or forsake us.
