LET GOD LEAD YOU

Life is like a road...you can go straight, make turns, pull over to a rest stop, hug the road as it curves in different directions and sometimes try and get off...and once in a while, you may see a sign for a U-Turn and take it...and then you are heading back.

Life can be confusing as we navigate through it. Some people today are using GPS, a machine which will guide them on the road...even that does not always get you there the best way. People still have trouble and may get lost.

There is a better way to help you see the road ahead...
which is really your life here on earth.
Simpler, Safer and Guaranteed to not get you lost...and make sure you arrive, where and when you should...IT IS CALLED GOD.

Let God Lead You...
It is so simple...
All you have to do is ASK HIM...
"Please lead me God, in everything"

Trust in God and have Faith
that HE loves you and wants the best for you.
HE is honored to lead you!
Now you do not have to worry
about confusing signs in your life...
which way to turn or go...
BECAUSE YOU ASKED GOD TO LEAD YOU.

TELL GOD TO MAKE THE ROAD CLEAR
AND OPEN FOR YOU TO SEE...
TELL HIM TO GO FIRST AND
THEN YOU WILL FOLLOW.

TELL HIM TO STOP YOU
IF YOU BEGIN TO GO THE WRONG WAY...

GOD NEVER GETS LOST and
traveling with HIM everywhere
will keep you safe
and give you peace of mind.

In today's world especially, where things may not always be "so clear"...
make sure you CALL ON GOD TO LEAD YOU IN EVERYTHING.

HE WILL !

I have an opinion to share. Many a times people, as stated in the article, leave it on god, saying "
God will guide us" or "Leave it on god."

But this is actually a bad attitude. The right one is -
"God is with me, so I can do it"

People tend to leave it on god and not do anything themselves which is very wrong.

Hi K
The bible gives many passages about God guidance:

"Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, DO NOT lean on YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. In ALL your ways acknowledge HIM and HE WILL DIRECT your PATH. (Prov. 3:5,6)

"He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake." Ps.23:3

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out LEADS THEM OUT. When he puts forth all his own, HE GOES AHEAD OF THEM, and the SHEEP FOLLOW HIM because they know his voice. (Jn 10:3,4)

"...Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."(Jam. 4:15)

These are just a few that show how the Lord leads us on our path of life... And that He expects us as believers to depend on Him to guide us!

We do not or cannot know what the next minute holds for us, But God does.. This is why we need to depend on Him through faith to lead us through life because we are here to serve Him not ourselves.

Jesus Himself hung on every word His Father said to guide Him to do His Fathers will. We as His Children need to do the same.

It is the difference between a sighted pilot and an instrument pilot-

The sighted (believers)pilot leans on his/her own ideas of what they think is right, while the instrument (believers) pilot trust ONLY on the instrument (Bible) to GUIDE their path.

The sighted pilot can only fly beneath the clouds because he/she must trust in only what he/she can see with the natural eyes, but the instrument pilot can fly right in the thick of the clouds even though he cannot see anything. Because he has learned through training NOT TO TRUST his/her own equilibrium, which would plunge him/her to a certain fatality.

The Lord has even given parents as a visible enactment of guidance to our children.

God is our Father and as such gives guidance to his children.

Life itself teaches that everyone needs guidance at some point in their lives..

Hebrew's 5:14 states, "But solid food is for the mature, who because of PRACTICE have their SENSES TRAINED to discern good (RIGHT WAY)and evil (WRONG WAY)...

Like the pilots, there is a two approaches to life -

I wouldn't want anyone but God, not even myself guiding my own life... I know what my life was before I met the Lord, and I know what my life has been like for almost 30 years of allowing the Lord to guide it.

God has been the Shepherd of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way...

Great and awesome article!!!

The Life of Peter is an awesome study that shows how God guides us through circumstances to teach us how to follow Him ... And to change us from glory to glory !!!

Not to mention, Genesis says, "that Abram believed and it was counted as righteousness.. The word "BELIEVE" in the original means to "LEAN ON WITH ALL YOUR WEIGHT"!


KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK IN THE LORD!! And keep allowing Him to lead...

Many Blessings
