The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.-
Isaiah 58:11
When you travel alone on an unknown road to an unknown destination, the signs and directions on the road can get you to your destination without even asking anyone. Even if someone tries to deceive you and tell you that you are going the wrong way you don’t pay attention to them because you are convinced to are on the right path.
It is the same as having a proper and trusted navigation system in life. Since you know that it can never steer you wrong, you always follow it and take the roads it suggests for you even if you don’t know where you are going or things that may confirm that you are actually close to your destination.
When God is your compass, you are never steered wrong. You have complete and absolute trust in his guidance and direction. Even if the situation you are facing is new and you have no idea how to get past it, you must never fear because he is the Lord who knows your future and has already conquered your fears.
As Christians, we should use the word of God as our light in a dark forest. When we can’t see forward or any dangers that may be approaching us in darkness we should use the word of God as a light to brighten our paths and destroy any oncoming disasters that can destroy us.
Sometimes, we may think that the people we associate with may have our best interest at heart. This is not always the case.
There are people who may seem close to you and appear to love you but deep in their hearts they only wish disgrace for you. It will only take guidance and direction from God to save you from the schemes of these people.
Walking through life without God’s guidance is like going to a destination without a map. You might see things that may suggest you are on the right path but you will just be going in circles.
Going through life without God makes you weak like a leaf at the mercy of the wind. You have no purpose and simply follow where your intuitions and feelings take you. This is not wise. Let God be your guide and you will always succeed.

Let God guide you in all your endeavors. Never let your own instincts or convictions push you to do something. Pray to God so he fortifies your spirit and leads you in the right directions each time.
He is always there for you if you need him and he will never steer you wrong if you go and come with him. He will restore you to the right path if you let him. He will lead you down the road you should be on and take you where you want to be.
Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.-
