Psalm 32:8
" I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye."
Divine guidance is one of the most important thing we must acknowledge that God wants for us as His children. Psalm 32:8 speaks on God's promise and commitment to us in the way we should follow. One of the things we must as Christians is doubting God's willingness to guide them. David recognizes God as our Shepherd in Psalm 23 because one of the job of the shepherd is to guide.
To receive divine guidance from God, we must acknowledge that His is our saviour and only guide to eternal glory. With God, we do not wander around like sheeps without Shepherd. God has given us the Holyspirit to guide us in all truth of God's will and plan for us. We do not have to grope in the dark as we are child of light. We are meant to walk in the light of God's word and everything He has prepared for us. We must be cautious and not doubt God's willingness to instruct,teach and guide us in the way we should go. God is
more willing to help us into His perfect plan if only we are willing to be led by Him.
The Bible is filled with promises of God's willingness and ability to guide us. In Psalm 28:18,
" for thou will light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness".
Light stands for direction while advancement and education means the Lord will guide us. It is the will of God that we should be guided on the right path. One of the reasons God will guide us is because He loves us and he wants us to reign with Him in heaven. We should never doubt God's ability to guide us into His eternal glory that he mapped out for us.
We want to show love and appreciation for his guidance. Because God is concerned about us, that is why he guides us.

God is always ready to guide his loyal worshippers. But, the question is, are you will to follow his directions? Part of his guidance can be found in the scriptures. Thanks for sharing.
God is always committed to guiding His people but sometimes we are always in haste and not patiently wait for His guidance before we make some decision and we later turn to Him when things are not working out fine in our own part that we chose.
Indeed, God is our hidden place, when we are in touble, we as a christian will run to him. It is good to know the truth about christ. The holy way you can be protected is dor you to give your life to him by cionfessing your sins.
We do believe that God guides us and we do believe it is important for those of us who live in a world like ours to be able to turn to someone who loves us and someone who has all knowledge who can lead us and guide us in our pilgrim journey. It's as if you were going on an imaginary journey. You are going to an unknown land where they speak an unintelligible language, there will be roads which will be unexplored. It would be extremely helpful for you on that journey if there was someone who understood the way who could serve as your guide and who could provide for you guidance.
The Bible teaches that God does guide His children. There are some wonderful promises in the Bible about guidance. One of them is over in Proverbs 3:5,6. ''Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.''
I like the one in Psalms 73:24 where it says, ''Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel and afterward receive me to glory.''
In the Old Testament time, primarily God's guidance was outward. Over this Tabernacle there was a glory cloud that came down and when the cloud stayed there, the people stayed there. But when the cloud rose and began to move, the people would follow the cloud. God led them by an outward cloud.
In the New Testament there is a change. Now, God's guidance is not so much outward as it is inward. Listen to John 16:13, ''Howbeit when he, the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth.''
Then there is the statement in Romans 8:14, ''As many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God.''
Our God is a loving Father. He is interested in our safety in our daily activities.
Exodus 33:12-16
Then Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me, 'Bring up this people!' But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me Moreover, You have said, 'I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.' "Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight Consider too, that this nation is Your people." And He said, "My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest." read more.
We have a GPS in our car. When we take a wrong turn, it reroutes us. But it never gives up until we reach our destination. You can ignore it or switch it off, but if you follow it, it makes your journey more enjoyable and peaceful. Eventually, it will say ‘You have reached your destination.’ Of course, this is not a perfect analogy. God is not a machine but a person who is with us on the journey. God wants to communicate with us and has promised to guide us. Glory! Thanks for sharing
God is constantly prepared to control his steadfast admirers. Yet, the inquiry is, would you say you are will to take after his headings? Some portion of his direction can be found in the sacred texts. A debt of gratitude is in order for sharing.
In reality, God is our shrouded put, when we are in touble, we as a christian will hurried to him. It regards know reality about christ. The heavenly way you can be secured is dor you to give your life to him by cionfessing your transgressions.
We need to indicate love and thankfulness for his direction. Since God is worried about us, that is the reason he controls us.
God is constantly dedicated to managing His kin however at times we are dependably in scurry and not calmly sit tight for His direction before we settle on some choice and we later swing to Him when things are not working out fine in our own particular part that we picked.
Informative post. Well
