When we wait on the Lord, have courage, enter His rest, and walk in His Spirit, His integrity and morality keep us in all our ways and deliver us from all our distress (Psalm 25:21-22). When we honor and consult the Lord, He teaches us His ways and guides us along His chosen path for us (Psalm 25:12).
Even going to the post office, or a quick drive to the grocery store will open a door for a divine appointment in which we can share the gospel of Christ with His chosen individual. He uses us as an honored vessel to witness about His goodness to us, to comfort a grieving heart, or the encourage the downtrodden, regardless of the person’s response to what we say.
The Lord never leaves or forsakes us (Hebrews 13:5), and He watches over us, counsels, instructs, and teaches us continually all through our day (Psalm 32:8). He is kind, forgiving, and lovingly devoted to everyone who waits on Him (Psalm 86:5).
As we wait on Him before making plans, He will show us whether to turn right or left, and we will continually hear His voice behind us telling us, “This is the way. Walk in it.” (Isaiah 30:12). Our Heavenly Daddy is always good to us, faithful to all generations, and His loving devotion endures forever (Psalm 100:5; Exodus 20:6).
Whole nations and any individual will benefit from His wisdom, joy, and peace as we connect to His presence within us and walk in His paths for us (Micah 4:2). He will even teach people who have not accepted His plan for their salvation because He is patient, and always good (Romans 5:8; Psalm 119:68).
Prayer:
Father God, You are good, and You constantly do good and teach Your ways to those who love You and follow Your precepts (Psalm 119:68). You help us to walk in Your righteous ways and you balance the path of those who walk in Your justice (Isaiah 26:7). As long as we receive Your instruction and hide Your commandments in our heart, You shower us with Your blessings (Proverbs 1:20-23, 2:1-6).
You regard the humble who turn to You, and You give us Your understanding, which guides us along Your chosen path for us (Proverbs 9:4-6). You are our Rock, and in Your presence within us there is no room for iniquity (Psalm 92:15). Remind those of us who are called by Your name to return to humbling our self before You, to continually consult You in prayer, and to eagerly and hungrily seek Your face. Thank You for always paying attention to us, hearing us, and healing us (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Thoughts for the Day:
God advises us to incessantly live in humility, meekness, patience and to bear with each other’s idiosyncrasies through His love for us and in us, which is ready to spill out to everyone we encounter during our day. This is such a contrast from our normal human reaction of arguing, pride, and selfishness as we do when we are focused primarily on our self. When we consider each person we meet as important, no matter what they look like or how they act, we do it as unto the Lord.
- Ephesians 4:2; Matthew 25:40
