DEPEND ON GOD’S GUIDANCE
Friday, November 17, 2023Key Verse
“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Psalm 32:8
Text — Psalm 32:8-11
Message
Everyone in life needs guidance at one time or the other. Young people and especially children need constant guidance in order not to miss their way. Just as you need to be guided when going on the road so that you will not miss your way, you need spiritual guidance. You can be guided spiritually if you put your faith and trust in God. God is our heavenly Father Who loves and cares for us, His children. Total dependance on God will make you receive guidance and direction from Him. God is our Refuge and Help Who never fails. He is our constant and ever-ready Guide.
When God chose Moses to lead the Israelites out of the Egyptian bondage, Moses knew he could not do it on his own. He called upon God and he received the assurance of God’s guidance (presence) to move on. God promised to go with them “And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.” (Exodus 33:14) We still have the assurance today if we follow in the footsteps of Jesus, our ever-present Guide. He will not leave nor forsake you. Trust Him.
