Does God Guide?

“...He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Psalm 23:3

The question is - does God guide? Yes! He has a plan for you.
Most Christians agree with this statement.

Probably the area of greater concern is the communication of God’s will to those who want to know and do it. This has been the subject of many helpful messages and books. Can and does God communicate His will? Yes! The Bible is full of examples how our personal God communicated His will to individuals.

Paul recognized the possibility of this vital communication from God as he prayed that the believers at Colosse would “...be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding...” Col 1:9

What is wisdom but understanding the direction God wants you to take in a particular set of circumstances.

The promise “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” James 1:5

God is your Father. That is biblical truth. A father provides guidance to his children. Our Father has even provided a guide book.

The Holy Spirit within you gives you guidance. Ask yourself, “When is God glorified?” When you know His will and do it.
