(Jeremiah 10:23) “O Lord, I know that the path of [life of] a man is not in himself; It is not within [the limited ability of] man [even one at his best] to choose and direct his steps [in life].”

I try my best each morning to seek the Lord as to what He wants to say to us all within the morning message. I don’t know about you, but this recent bunch of heartfelt truths have been reinforcing the fact in me that If I’m supposed to be ‘following’ my Lord (and by definition, I accept that only He knows the future and the possible ramifications of my precarious options), then how can I realistically make any significant choices without first asking my Lord for His approval or His direction?”

NB—Now, I’m not advocating we sit staring into our belly buttons about tangential things such as food or items of clothing, but I’m rather talking about things that can (and do) have a particular long-term effect on our lives, such as economic, medical, social, etc …

Ultimately, it all comes down to this bottom line: do I believe what the GOD that lives in us says (Isaiah 46:10) when He tells us very clearly that He alone knows the ultimate resolution from the commencing choice (the end from the beginning), “For I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is no one like Me, Declaring the end and the result from the beginning.”

If I do, then will I trust (and honour) Him enough with decisions that will ultimately bring Peace into my life (my heart and my future), or do I hold back, believing I know best and exist precariously in an unremitting state of wretched rebellion, never seemingly accepting His Lordship and constantly requiring His Divine interventions to avoid the constant flow of disasters?

Holy Spirit, please touch the heart of whoever is reading this. Draw them into Your presence and show them that You continue to speak and answer prayers today. Amen. 

Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve those who are sick amongst us—such as Barbara and Ian fighting cancer. We also pray for a quick and complete healing for Keiron, Jay and Liliana. Please grant your healing power to those who minister to all the sick among us so they may be strengthened in their weakness and have confidence in your loving care. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
