Turning to God first for guidance only makes sense because He will not only lead us in what is good but also to what is best. As God, He qualifies like none other for determining what that path should be.
What Qualifies God as Our First Stop for Guidance
He’s the Eternal One who knows the beginning from the end.
For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end. (Ps. 48:14)
He’s our Deliverer to whom we belong.
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. (Ps. 25:5)
He’s our Protector who looks after us for our good.
Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. (Ps. 31:3)
He’s the One to whom belongs all the glory.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. (Ps. 23:3)
Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. (Ps. 31:3)
Turning to God First to Guide Us Only Makes Sense
Let’s get real.
To be God, He would have to be the Almighty, Infinite, Holy God of whom there is no greater or better. That would make His ways always the best.
As humans, we are finite beings unable to see the big picture and powerless to get beyond our own self-interests to make an eternal difference.
So, let’s trust Him fully to guide our steps.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Prov. 3:5-6)
