We know God directs our steps through His Word and by the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, as seen in Jeremiah 10:23.
God's direction in our lives is assured by His promises in Scripture, particularly in passages like Jeremiah 10:23, which affirms that our natural inclinations lead us away from His ways. Through the Holy Spirit, believers are granted discernment and the yearning to seek God's will, aligning our desires with His purposes. This divine influence is further illustrated in the lives of biblical figures such as Paul, who, despite his earlier opposition, was radically redirected by God's power. When we seek God earnestly, reflecting the prayer of the Apostle, 'Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?', we position ourselves to receive His guidance.
