Read the transcript from today's video devotional.
I have a seemingly random question for you. Do you have a favorite navigation app to use when you're driving? Me and one of my closest friends, we were having, not an argument, but an intense discussion about our favorite navigation app to use. We were talking about things about how pretty or cool the app looks, or even which one gave the best suggestions for local coffee shops or restaurants to try out.
At the end of the day, the point of the navigation app is to get me to where I need to go. In fact, I even would like it to tell me what detours I might be experiencing or what traffic might be up ahead. Which one has the best information to get me to where I need to go?
Seeking God's Direction
This brings us to our Verse of the Day today.
It's found in Psalm chapter 25, verse 4. The Word of God says, "Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow."
You see, the Lord is the one we should be going to when it comes to seeking His plan and His direction for our lives. I don't know about you, but I constantly have voices trying to tell me what to do and how to live. Whether it's the news, whether it's social media, or whether it's people in my life. Ultimately, the Lord is the one who has the right path for my life and for yours.
I think there's two important things for you and I to remember about God when it comes to trusting Him with the direction of our lives.
God Is All-Knowing
The first thing is this: we have to remember that God is all-knowing. There is nothing in the world that God doesn't know because He created it all. He is in control. Psalm chapter 139 tells us that He knows everything about us. He even knows the number of hairs on our head. We can trust the Lord's direction because He knows every detail of our lives. Past, present, and future.
God Is Present Everywhere
The next thought I want to remind us of is this: that God is present everywhere. Proverbs chapter 15, verse 3 tells us that the eyes of the Lord are in every place keeping watch on both the good and the evil. Friend, you may not know what tomorrow holds. You may not be able to see tomorrow, but God is already there. He sees it all. He sees the ways the enemy has been trying to attack you. He knows the plans that He has for you to prosper you and not to harm you. To give you a hope and a future. He sees it all and God is already at your next turn.
Trusting God's Plan
Life inevitably is going to bring detours and traffic jams, but you can trust in God's plan for your life, and we can constantly come to Him in prayer and ask Him, God, where am I supposed to go? How am I supposed to live? There are two powerful, powerful tools that the Lord has given us to communicate with Him, to commune with Him when it comes to seeking His direction for our lives.
The first is the Word of God. It's described as a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Friend, you can never go wrong with turning to the Word of God to seek direction and guidance for our lives. We also have the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, who leads us into all truth. We can come to God at all times. We can come to the Lord in prayer through the Spirit, and we can turn to His Word to seek guidance and directions for our lives.
Making It Personal
I want to encourage you today to do something special with this Verse of the Day. Don't just read it. I want you to pray it today. You can use this Scripture as a prayer to say, Lord, show me the right path. Point out the road You have for me to follow.
