We live in a world where there is darkness all over us. God has a plan for us which He desires us to fulfil and that is why we need His guidance throughout our lives. Looking around us we see many Christians who have completely missed Gods will and gone astray and this ought to bring an alarm in our hearts lest we also miss what God has for our lives.
Since as we have seen that it is possible to miss Gods will for our lives, we need to search the scriptures to see what it says on Gods guidance.
We read in Isaiah these words…and the Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your desire in scorched places and give strength to your bones, and you will be like a well-watered garden and like a spring of water does not fail. Isa 58:11
Looking at the verse carefully, we see that it is when the Lord guides us that we are satisfied in drought and dry places, and our strength is restored. It is also the reason we will always be fresh and never dry and always bearing fruits.
Since the verse starts with ‘’and’’, we see it is a continuation of what was mentioned above and also a conclusion. Let us therefore look at the verses above to discover the secret of Gods continuance guidance.
Vs 10 says that one thing we are to do is to feed the hungry and help those in trouble. This will cause light to come where there was darkness concerning the will of God in any area.
But the verse also starts with “and” and therefore we need to also look at the previous verse since they also are connected.
Vs 9 says that IF WE REMOVE POINTING OF FINGER ( stop blaming others) AND SPEAKING WICKEDNESS, God will hear when we pray and when we cry he will answer speedily, ‘here I am’.
The verse starts with then and therefore takes us back to the previous verse;
Vs 8 says the light will break forth and healing will come speedily and your righteousness will go before you and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
We are also taken to verse 6 and 7 which are the beginning statements of all we’ve seen above and this is what they say;
Free those who are imprisoned by sin, to undo the yokes of bonds, to let the oppressed go free, to break every yoke, to share your food with the hungry, to bring the homeless poor in your house, to cover the naked and not to hide yourself from the needs of your own relatives
If we do the things mentioned above, the promise is the Lord will guide us continually, we will never be dry and we will always be fruitful.
Read carefully and meditate on each point and the Lord will give you light.
You are blessed to be a blessing
