God's Instruction
In Psalm 32:8 we read that God will instruct us and teach us in the way which we should go; He will counsel or guide us with His eye. His eye is upon us. He is always watching over His children. If we will listen, we will hear him instructing us concerning our pathway in life.
The Lord instructs us through His Word and His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our teacher and counselor. We can ask Him for guidance when we need it. We can ask Him to show us the way when we need direction. He desires to lead us. The Word of God has been given to us to instruct us in God’s ways, which are the ways of His Kingdom. When we stay in God’s Word, we are staying in the perfect way.
God is so good to us. He never leaves us or forsakes us. He is right there with us to keep us from taking a detour on the road of life. He keeps us on the highway and will help us to avoid the ruts and bumps if we will listen to His instruction.
Psalm 33:11 tells us that the counsel of the Lord stands forever and the thoughts of His heart through all generations. Isn’t that comforting! God’s counsel to us stands forever firmly in place. The thoughts of His heart are to all generations. He is mindful of our lives. He wants to be our leader. He wants to be our guide forever.
It is up to us to learn how to follow the Lord. He teaches us through His Word and by the power of His Spirit. Jesus told us that we as His sheep hear His voice, and the voice of a stranger we do not follow. We do hear God’s voice. We do know the way to go.
The person who heeds God’s voice and listens to His instruction is like a tree firmly planted by the rivers of water. He brings forth his fruit in his season. His leaf shall not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper and come to maturity, shall succeed (Psalm 1:1-3). The successful person is one who listens to Godly counsel and doesn’t walk in the counsel of the ungodly. He doesn’t follow their advice. He doesn’t listen to them. He listens to God so that His plans and purposes can be established.
We are living in a time when Godly instruction is a vital necessity. It is only the Lord Who can guide us through the dangerous time in which we are living. All around us, the ways of the world are producing failure. It is only God’s way that will stand. His way is the way of the Word. We must listen to Him now more than ever. Take time at the beginning of your day, every day, to get your instructions for the day. It could mean the difference between life and death in this time period. Or it could mean the difference between losing thousands of dollars or doubling your investments. When God is allowed to be in charge of our lives, He will take us the best route in the highway of life. He knows the way better than we do. He sees the end from the beginning.
Let’s listen to His Godly counsel every day.
