Thought For Today: “Let God Guide”

There is just something within us that says, “If it’s meant to be it’s up to me.”

But when it comes to fulfilling God’s calling, this is wrongheaded thinking. Instead, it should be, “Where God guides, God provides.”

Of the Lord, it says, “His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.” (2 Peter 1:3)

The Lord will give us what we need; both for our physical and spiritual life, “life and godliness.” Therefore, we don’t need to work it out on our own or with our own understanding.

Of the Holy Spirit, Jesus said that “When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.” (John 16:13a)

And the Lord said, “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.” (Ezekiel 36:27)

Therefore, let’s let the Holy Spirit guide us, and He will get us where we need to go with everything we need.
