WHY TRY TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING, LET GOD DIRECT YOUR STEPS.

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer! Once again I am delighted to share the word of encouragement and hope, at such a time as this. In this journey of life, we meet a lot of obstacles and challenges which at times leave us perplexed and confused, as we start to ask many questions without answers. However, life is a journey and not a destination.  Because life is a journey, on the paths and ways we go through, we may face roadblocks, potholes and high terrains which are difficult to climb or travel on, that's when we need God's guidance and direction.The title of my message is:" WHY TRY TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING, LET GOD DIRECT YOUR STEPS " The Bible in Proverbs 20:24 says,
[24]"Since the Lord is directing our steps, why try to understand everything that happens along the way?" The scripture above urges us to trust God in many ways. We complicate life by trying to understand everything in life, including that which God is supposed to handle. Even if you pray for something, you must trust God that He will make it happen, when the time is right. But the problem is that we always try  to assist God, on matters which don't concern us, that are expected to be handled by God, as we wait for is guidance and direction. Mark 11:24 says, " When you pray, believe that you have received." Why try to understand everything which does not  concern you. After praying for something, the next thing you do is just to thank God for everything you have asked and prayed for, until it manifests physically. You develop stress and depression by putting too much pressure on yourself, on issues that are just meant for God to handle. Leave
everything to God. Whatever happens on the way  is not your business, but the Lord's.  Stop worrying and panicking and having sleepless nights on things that are the Lord's responsibility. Why try to understand everything?
The Living Bible in Isaiah 30:21 says,
[21]"And if you leave God’s paths and go astray, you will hear a voice behind you say, “No, this is the way; walk here.” The scripture once again is a testimony to what I just mentioned above. As you live this life stop worrying yourself on many things that may be happening around you, until God speaks to you and say, " No, this is the way; walk here." Don't go where God has not directed you to go. Don't do what the Lord has not told you to do.  Have listening inner ears, which hear the voice of God all the time. If you go it alone, you will not make it in life. Let God direct your paths always. The Living Bible in Psalms 37:23-24 says,
[23]"The steps of good men are directed by the Lord. He delights in each step they take.
[24]If they fall, it isn’t fatal, for the Lord holds them with his hand." This scripture is very clear, that it is only the Lord who directs God's children. Christians must always follow God's ways and paths so that you may not fall on the way side. The word says though you may fall, but the fall will not be fatal or disastrous.
The Living Bible in Psalms 119:105 says,
[105]"Your words are a flashlight to light the path ahead of me and keep me from stumbling." It the above scripture, once again as believers, we must make the word of God the standard for our lives. What the word of God says, is what we must always obey and follow. The word of God is good for directing correcting, instructing and rebuking. ( 2 Timothy 3:16) So we need to do the will of God, and follow His ways all the time.
The Living Bible in Isaiah 43:2
[2]"When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up—the flames will not consume you." In our walk with God we may go through storms of life of deep waters and great trouble, but the Lor will always be with us.  He will never abandon us halfway. Even if we go through rivers of difficulty, we shall not drown, the Lord will always be with us. There are fires and painful times we may experience on the way, as we go through the fire of oppression, but will not be burned up or consumed, because the Lord will be with us.( Hebrews 13:5-6)
The Living Bible in Psalms 23:1-2,4-6 says,
[1]"Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!
[2](2-3) He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most.
[4]Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.
[5]You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow!
[6]Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home." As long as our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy spirit and Our Mighty God is with us, we shall fear nothing, as we are led on right paths. 
The Living Bible in Matthew 28:20 says,
[20]"and then teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you; and be sure of this—that I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” The Lord will be with me and you, even to the end of the world. His presence will not depart from you and me, as long as  we obey His word and follow His direction. He will never forsake or abandon His own.
The Living Bible in Proverbs 3:6 says,
[6]"In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success." Therefore as the scripture above states, you need to trust God in everything that pertains to life and godliness.(2 Peter 1:3) Why then try to understand everything than happens along the way in this journey of life? Just leave everything to the Lord! This year is a Year of Good News, and you just have to pray and believe God for your breakthrough. Good news is your portion! Good news is my portion! Stop worrying and be still and know that there is God who makes things to happen in due season.( Psalms 46:10, Isaiah 60:22, Psalm 77:14)

May God richly bless you all!
