Need to hear God's guidance?
"The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring." Isaiah 58:11
Though the Bible never uses the word guidance, it does speak of a Guide. We may seek guidance, but God provides something better--himself.
Many of us struggle to understand and discern God's guidance for our lives. We ask questions like: Should I marry or not? Should I marry this person or that person? Should I have another child? Should I join this church or that one? Which profession should I follow? What job should I take? Is my present line of work the one to stay in? Herein lies the major distortion of knowing and doing God's will. Does God lead and direct in these areas? Yes. Does he come out and overtly tell us what to do? Rarely.
So how does God guide us? Consider these principles:
God's guidance concerns itself more with our steps than our overall journey.
God's guidance is more preoccupied with the present than with the future.
God's guidance has less to do with geography and more to do with morality.
God's guidance is more interested in our character than our comfort.
God's guidance is not insider information.
God's guidance is that we pursue the Guide more than guidance.
In seeking God, his plan will be revealed. His way will lead back through his Word. If the step is more critical than the journey, and the present is of greater consequence than the future, and the Guide more essential than the guidance, what is needed? We need to know the right step to take. We need to know what we must do in the present. We need to know the Guide. God does not guide us magically; he guides us relationally. Therefore, the Bible must be studied so we may become acquainted with the ways and thoughts of God. God's aim is that we become his companions who walk with him. He already knows us. Now he wants us to understand and know him. The more we understand him, the more real our relationship will be with him and the more likely we are to keep in step with him in the direction he is taking us.

Mill Bay to Vancouver to Banff
Mill Bay British Columbia - Vancouver British Columbia
