5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on
your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make
your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
(NIV)
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you
should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Psalms 32:8 (NIV)
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs
sinners in his ways. 9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them
his way. 10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for
those who keep the demands of his covenant. Psalms 25:8-10 (NIV)
23 Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right
hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will
take me into glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has
nothing I desire besides you. 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the
strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalms 73:23-26 (NIV)
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all
the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the
left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do
not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and
night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will
be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do
not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you
wherever you go.” Joshua 1:7-9 (NIV)
1 The
LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He
makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they
comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalms 23:1-6 (NIV)

11 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 (NIV)
12 “I have much more to say to
you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you
into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears,
and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and
making it known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father
is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it
known to you.” John 16:12-15
(NIV)
14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be
our guide even to the end. Psalms 48:14 (NIV)

“God uses us when we are out and about
doing normal things and taking steps of faith. That is how the Christian life
works. We read the Word of God. We take the principles of the Word of God and
put them into practice. We pray that the Lord will guide our steps. And then we
go.” Greg
Laurie
“He that takes truth for
his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead
him aright.” Blaise
Pascal
“I know not the
way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide.” Martin Luther
“A group decided to hike the mountains of southern Kentucky. They hired the best-known guide in the area to lead them on their journey. But after only a few hours on the trail, their guide seemed perplexed. Soon, they discovered they were lost and had been walking in circles. One of the friends looked at their guide and asked, ‘How can you be the best in the state of Kentucky?’ To which the man replied, ‘That’s just it. I’m afraid we are in Tennessee.’ Many people in our nation are following similarly misinformed guides today. These so-called leaders believe they can operate without God and His Word, but they are tragically mistaken. Those who follow them are likewise deceived – completely unaware that they could be headed for hell unless they change course. As for you and me, we must search the Scriptures and discover true north: the will of God. He has given us all we need to discern His will – The Holy Spirit and His Word. Without them, we will wonder off God’s path and away from the Truth. Let us therefore commit ourselves to daily seeking the Lord, for He alone can lead us to heaven and eternal life.” Michael Youssef.
