Guide Me Along the Best Pathway


The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8 

Which Pathway?
Hiking in Utah.
God’s promise…for today…I will guide—I will advise—I will watch over. He’s our Abba Father doing the things we expect of a father. Guiding, advising, guarding. We never really “grow up” entirely—we still need that Father figure in our lives to help us. At least, I do. That is unless we’re a rebellious person who wants to do everything on our own—like my two year old grandgirl. She’s wants dress, feed and even read to herself! But she will ask me to build Legos with her—her way of course. What a great thinker and planner! Hopefully she will still let the Lord guide her pathway as she grows up. He knows what is good for each of us. We just have to trust Him. David continued writing in Psalm 38…

Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, "I will confess my rebellion to the LORD." And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time, that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment. For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. Psalm 32:5-7

Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD. So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure! Psalm 32:10-11. 

Look to God to guide, advise and show you the right things to do—the right pathway. Submit your life…even your very thoughts—to His direction.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6  

Prayer ~ Lord God, please continue to guide and direct my thoughts, words and actions that I would see You working and directing my life in ways that are pleasing to You.
