Today : He Is Our Guide
TODAY’S VERSE
“I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.” Psalms 16:7 (NLT)
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Have you ever had a deeply complex situation, way over your head, you were not sure what you were going to do, and then someone who was very familiar with your situation, showed you the way out? What a blessing! There is nothing worst than being in a deep forest and not know where you are. How thankful I was to have a guide who knew every square inch of the deep terrain we were in. It is that way in life. Every day has new challenges. Just when you think you know the terrain, you turn a corner and “bam” you don’t know where you are. Panic, frustration, doubt and fear start to set in and then you remember, “Why am I worried? The Lord is my guide!” And He is. David believed this. He knew what it was to depend on God. He knew what it was to be in circumstances where he wasn’t sure which way to turn. So he blessed the Lord who was his guide. This same God who instructed him during the night. Today, try it. Let God guide you. Call out to Him for wisdom, instruction, help and strength for all you do. He will be your guide.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, be my guide. I need Your wisdom, Your strength, Your guidance. Thank You, Lord, that You love me and long for me to come to You for help. I come now, Lord Jesus.
AMEN
TODAY’S VISUALIZATION & MEDITATION
Christ guides my life
You are deep in the woods. You are overwhelmed with vastness of the forest and you lose your bearings. Panic starts to set in. You are lost. You have to do something. Just when you are ready to make a guess at what to do, over the horizon comes your guide. He knows the way home. Feel the relief. Sense the joy as you know that the guide knows the way out of the wilderness. All you have to do is follow. Now see life as the wilderness and Christ as the guide. Let Him guide your life and direct your path.
