Have you been wandering aimlessly alone. Today, I encourage you to know the truth that God desires to guide and counsel you. Because He cares about the details of your life, seek His Word and follow the path He has set before you. Set aside a time each day to read a portion of God’s Word and journal about what you read. Journaling will help you map out God’s course for your life.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.” Psalm 32:8
Life is full of dead ends and confusing directions that can lead us off course. From time to time we can get lost spiritually if we don’t look to God as our source for answers and guidance. When it happens to us, there are certain signs. Life seems dull, scary, uneventful and without purpose or clear direction.
Sadness sets in and our days look lonely, cold and dark. We lose the confidence in decision-making, too. Without seeking clear directions from God, it’s so easy to become confused about which way to turn. Eventually we can start to feel like we are lost.
It doesn’t have to be this way. We can turn to God for help. In today’s verse, God makes this promise to each and everyone of us. We don’t have to go it alone as if we’re feeling our way through the darkness. God is there to light our path.
No matter how determined we are about staying the course, without God’s direction we’ll end up in a place we never intended to go. Whenever we need direction — whether it’s raising a strong-willed child, changing jobs or dealing with a difficult relationship — God will faithfully provide the counsel we need. And we can find God’s counsel in His Word, through prayer and by relying on the Holy Spirit to pave the way before us. Practicing these principles is the only way we can be sure of reaching our destination.
It’s true. There will be obstacles along life’s way and, at times, the path we take will feel unknown, but God wants to guide, equip and lead us each day as we learn to depend more and more on Him.

Have a wonderful day as you allow God to instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. Love to you all.

Jesus is a safe harbor
I am a follower of Jesus. I am a grateful delivered woman who was once an addict, but now God has restored me and renewed me. I have been redeemed and remade by our Creator through salvation of His Son, Jesus Christ! I just want to share what God has done in my life that you may have the opportunity to experience the same joy He gave me. I give God all the glory for everything in my life for I couldn't accomplish anything apart from Him.
If ye shall know the truth, the truth shall set you free, John 8:32.
He puts people in my life that help me and gives me the opportunity to help another. I am never surprised by his love and blessings. God has placed a confidence and love in myself that I have never had before… so "Thank you God".. for the many True Blue Christians you have put in my life and for all the blessings you bestow on me daily. I have not come this far without lots of prayers and the help and love of my true friends and family and I thank you God for those special people in my life. You are 100% my Savior! I will forever have your name on my lips.
I realize now with lots of prayer and reading of the Word… that all the answers were here for me and I never asked the questions. Although I still struggle daily with other life’s daily cards that are dealt, I have an attitude now of “NO MATTER WHAT “– I will praise You, Lord~~~through my storms and my triumphs! I have much more to share and would love to answer any questions anyone may have for through all my trials what has come to be is that I want to help others to see what I didn’t see and hopefully prevent the same hurts, guilt, shame and woes that I had to deal with and give them the best gift of all… JESUS!
I believe it's important that we know who we are in God ... We are a one of a kind and God has made us like no other for a purpose- His purpose. Yes, bad things happen and yes, we make poor choices, but we don't have to continue to make them. God's mercies are new each day. Once we realize, know and most importantly believe who we are in Christ, that we are a child of God, we are not an accident, and whatever the circumstances before us each day no matter what they are... God gives us the choice and the power of Him to choose right and live right. We no longer have to live in the past, but in the present and look with expectation to the future with God by our side guiding us and directing our steps. He is our strength and our hope needs to reside in Him. Let his power and love work in your life today and see that life does not have to be the way you are living now. He wants to help you, but you have to let him. He can't make us come to him, he is not lost - WE ARE!
Please share this blog with others to encourage them for the glory of God!
