You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

Psalm 73:24

What more could we desire that is not in this one promise alone?  

Divine guidance and wisdom to help us find our way day by day and the sweet hope of eternity in the presence of God.  Are you struggling with a problem or decision?  Then ask God for guidance.  Review the wisdom contained in the Scriptures.  What has God already said about your situation?

We don’t often need new revelation.
What we need is to remember and reflect on the truth we have already received.  Is there a truth you can recall that would give you direction?  God’s provision is often one day at a time.  Like the manna that fed the children if Israel.  It was to be gathered fresh each day.  Do you have enough light, enough direction for today?
Then follow it with all your strength.

If you don’t know what to do then you must keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking.

 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8

 And you must wait on the Lord. 

Even youths shall faint and be weary,
    and young men shall fall exhausted;
 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
    they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
    they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31

We never know what tomorrow will bring, but we can trust that God will be faithful to guide us with His counsel until He brings us to His glory.

Years ago a large group of Fulani people settled in Gbeo, about 30 miles from Bolgatanga, in the north of Ghana. Recently we met with some of the women and children while we were in the area visiting churches and conducting Women’s Conferences. Though usually Muslim, this Fulani village has a sizable Christian church. Mavis Ayamga, whose husband Robert directs Calvary West Africa Bible Institute in Bolgatanga, has been ministering to them and arranged our meeting.

The day had begun with rain and that delayed the women, but not the children. They arrived eager to be involved in whatever was going on, so we taught them the story, found in 1 Samuel 3, of young Samuel first hearing God speak to him. Then we shared the story in John 6 of the little boy who gave his lunch to Jesus and watched as the Master blessed it and fed 5000 people with his offering. God can and does work through even young children. May He watch over each one leading them early to salvation in Jesus and a life that brings blessing to them and glory to God.

By the time we finished the two stories for the children the benches were full. Several of the young men and even an older gentleman came to be part of our gathering.
