The One Who Knows The Way

Psalms 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Praise the Lord!

Today we will meditate upon the Leadership of the Lord.

John Maxwell once said:

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” 

Whenever we face a dead end in our life, we tend to look to people especially motivational speakers who would give motivational and direction from their experiences. But many times we find that what had worked for them didn't necessarily worked for us. Because each individual has a different journey and has an individualistic personality.

So we keep seeking more and more  motivation from people and seek advice and counseling from people.

Bible says:

Psalms  118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Is this just a coincidence or God's way of telling that instead of seeking people's counseling. We need to look towards him for counsel.

Lord says to Jeremiah:

Jeremiah  29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

How can we know whether we are on a right path?

Many people wants God's will in their lives, they know that His will is always good. But they are ignorant and want to follow their own ways.

1. Keep yourself away from wicked advice.
If you find that the advice of people takes away the peace from your heart. Do not listen to those advice. (John 14:27).
Pray to God for counsel acknowledge all your work. Seek his guidance.

2. Keep yourself away from sinful path.
There is a way which seems right to sinners but the end is death. In your spirit if you are convicted that it is a wrong way. Listen to that small still voice which is protecting you from perils.

3. Keep yourself away from boasting your work.
Don't belittle anyone or anything. Respect all people whether they are elders or small ones. (James 2:1)

Saints,

We are living in stressful situations, so we need to be careful from whom we seek advice.

Proverbs  20:18  Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

John  14:10  Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

We have a Leader whose name is Jesus who was tempted like us but emerged victorious because he seeked Father's face.

Hebrews  4:15  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Today when you are facing difficulty in making decisions. Look towards Lord and seek his face. He will guide and protect you from all temptations.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and don't lean on your understanding.

God Bless
