God’s Guidance Requirements

Leviticus 25; Psalms 25-26; Acts 22 

“He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way…Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way chose for him…The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.”

Psalm 25:9, 12, 14

While it might seem natural for us to only trust God once he proves himself to us, David called us to respond in the opposite way. It is with humble hearts before God, fully surrendering our will to him, that God will teach us his ways, instruct us, and covenant with us. Our quest for guidance from God can feel more like a vending machine than a relationship if our hearts and will are not fully surrendered to the Lord. 

Are there any areas of lives not yet fully surrendered to the Lord?

Do we see how that negatively affects God’s counsel and instruction in our lives?

With humble hearts, let us offer all to God, and discover the wonder of the Lord confiding in us.

“Lord, you are my source and I give all I am to you. Thank you for covenanting, confiding, and counseling me, for your glory.”
