“When You Know You Are
On Track With Him”
 

God our guidance

by Dona Hake

 

 

 God desires to lead and guide us all the days of our lives. He longs  that we seek Him first, and that we purpose that His Spirit is leading us.    Our God is always desiring that we are are on track and moving forward.  It is our own fleshly desires that are able to keep us standing still, and not moving forward in His perfect will.
 

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.”  Never make the mistake of trying to make a decision when you are tired or upset emotionally.   We need to stop and rest in the Lord and also get the rest we need in our body.   I have found more times than not that when I am physically tired that I usually am not seeing things correctly, and I tend to overreact…not good!   Oh I praise God when I have had times where I have received answers to a particular need or leading in what I needed to do during the night while my body and mind were resting.  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.”

 

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!  On track with Jesus is where we need to be!
