He will teach you the way!

One of the great struggles that we have today is who can we trust to give us good guidance or direction. The other day, I went to a very large store looking for a specific item. I couldn’t find the item so I asked an employee did they know where the item was. She told us it was in aisle 3. However, even though she was an employee, she gave me incorrect info. I asked two more employees and finally found the item I was looking for. This happens in every area, whether you need your car repaired, a doctor that can correctly diagnose your issue, what kind of school should you go to, etc. Fortunately for us who trust in Christ, God can be trusted to give us the perfect wisdom and guidance that we need! Isaiah 48:17 (AMP) says: “This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says, “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit (benefit), Who leads you in the way that you should go”. So, instead of asking everybody for help except our Heavenly Father, it’s time to turn this equation around. Go to God first and ask Him for wisdom and guidance every morning. He will teach you to prosper in your way, and will lead you in righteous paths. He will never leave you nor forsake you, so daily walk with God because He will direct your paths!

Resurrection Power!

King David meditated on God’s word continually. He knew that God’s word contained life, wisdom, protection, instruction, direction and gives life to those who embrace His precepts. Psalm 119:93 (KJV) says: “I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me”. The (NKJV) says: “for by them You have given me life”. That word quickened is the Hebrew word Chayah (Strongs Hebrew: 2420), which means: “to revive, to make alive, to give life, to preserve, to restore back to life”.  Did you know that Jesus is the Word of God? Yes, He is the Living Word of God. We also have the written word of God which speaks of Him! John 1: 1, 14:  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth”. Ephesians 2:1 says: “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins”. If you are reading this, take a moment to thank God for the fact that you are alive. Be grateful for life. In Christ, you also have eternal life. I know that we are in the midst of many people who are constantly complaining about the dumbest things. But don’t get caught up in that mess.  Instead, take time to realize just how blessed we really are. By God’s grace, we have been given life and life eternal. Be like King David of old, and thank Him every day for the gift of life. Remember, He loved us even when we were dead in sins and trespasses. He is worthy of gratitude and praise!
