God directs our path when we fully surrender ourselves to Him. God wants to rule in our lives. Just as God guided the nation of Israel in the Old Testament, He wants to lead us as our personal God.
God’s guidance in our lives as believers is a precious gift. We can feel God’s leadership when we read His Word and give time to prayer. When we seek God’s direction, we understand His plan.
The Bible teaches us that God’s thoughts are far superior to ours. He knows our future and He guides us on the right path. Sometimes we do not understand what is happening in our lives but we should always believe in him.
When we read the Bible and pray, we understand God’s heart. When we set ourselves apart to spend time with God, God reveals His plans in our lives. So we should set aside some time for God from our busy lives. For example, when the Lord Jesus was on the earth, He regularly got up early in the morning and spent time in prayer with God.
Before we begin every task in life, let us ask God to lead us in prayer. Then God will guide us on the right path. May we put all our thoughts on the Word of God because He will work in our lives at the right time.
Let us believe and seek the miracles of God in our lives. He wants to do good in our lives and make us live longer.
Now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about God directing your path.
