Taking Comfort In God’s Direction

We are all human. We believers try to do good, but we will sometimes go the wrong way. We can take comfort in the fact that we have a very good Father. God is always there, always trying to show us the right way. If we will but spend time with Him and seek His face daily, He will daily renew the light to the path we need to travel, getting us back on track. In Proverbs 14:27 It says that reverence toward God is source of life and has the power to turn us away from those things that hook us and lead to death. If we will turn to God every day, and seek His face, then we can take comfort in the fact that their will be the power to get back to the right path. If we can remember to do this when we face those temptations, we can overcome them. And God speaks to us in a small voice when those temptations come up to give us that choice. It is a great comfort to me to know that I do have to try to do this walk with God out of my own strength, but in my weakness God is made strong (II Corinthians 12:9) by His calling to us and giving us the power to take the right path . Praise God!

Prayer
Father, Thank You for providing the course corrections we need to go down the right path. Thank You for the scriptures that You have given to us to help us learn Your ways. Thank You for being loving and patient with us, and making right choices available to us daily. In Jesus name. Amen.
