Today : Direction
TODAY’S VERSE
“Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.” Psalms 25:4-5 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
There are so many paths to choose from. Wouldn’t it be nice if we just had to make one turn and never had to ask for directions again? But that isn’t going to happen. Life has too many variables and we were given a free will in order to choose our behavior. The good news is we are not alone. We don’t have to make decisions all on our own. As a mighty warrior and later as King, David had to make many life and death decisions, judgments and settlements. Although he had the right to decide whatever he wanted to, David knew that having God’s guidance was the only way to make good choices. He prayed that God would show him the right path. He asked God to be specific and point out the way he should go. So God would guide Him by teaching David truth. As David meditated on God’s word and character, he would end up putting more trust in God. This trust would result in hope and direction. Today, you have many different directions you could take. Stop and commit your journey to Him. Ask God to guide you and direct you in all you do and say. Put your trust in Him.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, I commit this day to You. You know all the decisions ahead of me. Grant me wisdom and show me the paths I should take. I put my hope and trust in You. Guide me I pray.
AMEN
TODAY’S AFFIRMATION & MEDITATION
God helps me with my decisions
James says that those of us who lack wisdom should ask God and He will give it to us. Picture yourself today coming to God with a decision you have to make. Wait on Him for wisdom. Sense His presence and loving mercy attending to your heart and mind. Feel Hi move with in you. You ask Him for wisdom and He is giving you help. Affirm, “God helps me with my decisions!”
