Guidance

“The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His way” (Psalm 25:9).

I suppose every true believer deep down in their heart desires the guidance of the Lord in their life. However, the above verse shows us that there must be a submissive attitude of meekness and a willingness to give the Lord first place if we are going to be guided and taught according to His way. Meekness is giving Him the preeminence and walking humbly before Him. The perfect example, of course, is the Lord Jesus Himself, who said: “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls” (Matthew 11:29).

Here are some further verses on the subject:

“For Thou art my Rock and my Fortress; therefore for Thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me” (Psalm 31:3).

“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye” (Psalm 32:8).

“And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul” (Isaiah 58:11).
