Let the Lord Guide You in His Truth

[5] “Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” – Psalms 25:5 (NIV)

One of the most essential things to prioritise in your walk with God is to let Him guide you in His truth. Several people read their Bibles every day. However, a staggering percentage of these people fail to understand the practicality behind the things written in the Bible. Therefore, many people are unsure of how to apply biblical truth to their lives, leading them to blame God when unexpected things happen to them.

For instance, some people who may have loved God and served in the ministry for many years without reaching certain life goals, like marriage, having a house or secured employment, sometimes question whether God is faithful. That concern intensifies when they compare themselves to others who may be portrayed as having achieved success in life. However, the amusing aspect is that those people may also be looking at different things that others have that they may not have. What am I saying here? Comparison is never good. It doesn’t make people grateful for what they have. Instead, it breeds discontentment and greed in them. Mercy!

God is good, and there is no darkness in Him. However, His ways are not our ways. That means how He does His things in our lives contrasts with how we may perceive it. That is why when some unusual things are happening in your life, you’ve got to seek God’s perspective for allowing those things to happen instead of blaming Him for your predicament. Don’t be deceived. God’s intentions remain pure for you. Let the Lord guide you in His truth. He is a faithful God.

You are a blessing.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for teaching and guiding me. Help me to understand Your ways, lest I misinterpret some things that You allow to happen in my life. In the name of Jesus. Amen!
