Roadmap for Life - Wisdom on the way for everyday life (2) - 4 July 2016
Keeping your eyes on the Lord is necessary to find your way in this world.
Master the art of making the right choices. Regardless of where you might find yourself in your journey, you will be faced with moral decisions. You will be confronted with opposing beliefs and differing lifestyles. While some situations are clearly good or bad, the situations that try your faith the most will not be so clear. Keeping your eyes on God will help you find your way in this world.
Happy are those who reject the advice of evil people, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no use for God. Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord, and they study it day and night.They are like trees that grow beside a stream, that bear fruit at the right time, and whose leaves do not dry up.They succeed in everything they do. Psalms 1:1-3
In Provers 16:3 we read, "Ask the Lord to bless your plans, and you will be successful in carrying them out."
Even when you’re afraid, keep your eyes on the Lord. It’s exciting moving through life enjoying your freedom and opportunities for personal growth. While this is a good thing, the fear of not measuring up, failing to reach your goals, adjusting to strange environments or rejection by others may cause anxiety in many ways. God understands your uncertainty and sets your mind at ease through the Bible.
Do not be afraid — I am with you! I am your God — let nothing terrify you! I will make you strong and help you; I will protect you and save you. Isaiah 41:10
To find your way in this world, keep your eyes on the Lord and trust in the goodness of God. Read Psalm 36:5-9 and listen what the psalmist says, " … We feast on the abundant food you provide; you let us drink from the river of your goodness."
Prayer: Father, through your Spirit please help me to keep my eyes on the Lord so that I can find my way in this world. Thank you for your love and mercy. Amen
