“Are You On Track With God?”
God our guidance
by Dona Hake
“I feel like I’m on track!” Have you ever said that? I love the feeling that I know I am doing the right thing and all is flowing smoothly. Nothing bothers me more than feeling like I am wasting time or I do not have purpose in what I am doing.   God desires to lead and guide us each and everyday of our lives. He also desires that we seek Him first, and that we purpose that His Spirit is leading us.

Galatians 5:16 CEV

“If you are guided by the Spirit, you won’t obey your selfish desires.”

Many times we can fall to the weakness of following our own way or our own selfish desires. We can also be guilty of knowing the Lord’s direction but trying to make things happen in our own ability. As we trust Him for answers and direction He will always be faithful to direct us and keep us on track.

Have you ever heard the saying spoken when someone is needing to make a decision…”Maybe you just need to sleep on it.” I have had times where I have received answers to a particular need or leading in what I needed to do during the night. The Lord has a beautiful and tender way of quietly speaking in the quietness of the night.

Psalm 16:7 (ERV)
“I praise the Lord because he taught me well.
Even at night he put his instructions deep inside my mind.”

 
 So today I ask you, are you on the right track for your day?   It is a good thing to know that the Lord our God is leading us i as we purpose to do His will!n the way that we should go!   I praise God that He so tenderly desires to come along side of us in this life that we can know we are going the right direction  as we purpose to do His will!
