This also comes from the LORD of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance. ISAIAH 28: 29 NKJV

Do you trust God to lead you in a way that is beneficial—a manner that is absolutely best for you? If you’re like a lot of believers, you say you do, but your actions may tell a different story.

Often we may say we believe the Lord is all-wise and knows what is best for us, but then we look for advice from people around us. Our pride or refusal to be open to His plan can bring misery and regret.

My friend, listen: only one Person has absolute knowledge, and that is the Lord. And He has promised to provide all the guidance you need. You can worry, fret, and fume about an issue that God has already dealt with— and continue to be miserable. But if you will set your heart to trust Him, He will help you obey Him each and every time. He will guide you step by step, even when you don’t see His omnipotent hand.

Lord, the next time I start to turn to friends for direction, stop me! I want to hear from You first to know my certain path, amen.

In His presence . . . accept that His is the best plan.
