the guidance of God. Psalm 32 verse 8, I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will counsel you and watch over you.

Left to ourselves, we are blind wanderers in the maze of this world, inclined to err and unable to discern the way. But the Lord, in His wondrous mercy, does not abandon His people to their own devices. He is our shepherd, wise and watchful, ever guiding those who trust in Him. His direction comes through the unchanging truths of His Word, the inner witness of His Spirit, the workings of His providence, and often through the godly counsel of those who walk closely with Him. His leading is never hurried, never late, always tender, and always sure.

Sometimes He brings us beside quiet waters. At other times, He takes us through the valley of deep shadows. Yet in every season, His purpose stands to conform us to Christ and to glorify His name. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs chapter 3, verse 6.

Often, His guidance is veiled in delay or revealed through a closed door. But He is never mistaken, never indifferent, never unaware. By withholding immediate answers, He teaches us to not lean on our understanding, but to rest in His perfect wisdom. His call is not merely to know the path, but to trust the guide.

So then, believer, Walk in quiet confidence. Fix your gaze on your infallible shepherd. Hear his voice in the scriptures. Seek his face in prayer.

He will never mislead you, for he is the unfailing God, infinitely wise, perfectly good, and sovereign over every step you take. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Psalm 73, verse 24.

In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. Exodus 15 verse 13.
