GOD’S GUIDANCE FOR THIS YEAR

 Psalm 143:10 (GNT) says, “You are my God; teach me to do your will. Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.”


This verse is a deep and humble prayer from the psalmist. He begins by recognizing who God is to him. By saying, “You are my God,” he declares a personal relationship, not a distant belief. He is saying, “I belong to You, and You rule my life.” This statement shows trust, surrender, and dependence. The psalmist is not trusting his strength or wisdom but God alone.

When he asks, “Teach me to do your will,” he admits that he does not know everything. He understands that God’s will is better than his own plans. This is a prayer for obedience and learning. It shows a heart that is ready to listen and follow. Doing God’s will requires humility, patience, and daily guidance. The psalmist wants God to shape his decisions and actions.

Next, he prays, “Be good to me.” This is a request for God’s goodness, mercy, and favor. The psalmist knows that God is good by nature. When God’s goodness rests on a person, life becomes different. Doors open, help comes unexpectedly, and favor follows. God’s goodness brings peace, strength, and hope even in difficult times.

Finally, he says, “Guide me on a safe path.” This shows the need for protection and direction. Life is full of hidden dangers and wrong paths. Only God knows what lies ahead. From January to December, God sees everything clearly. The psalmist understands that safety is not just physical but spiritual and emotional too. God’s guidance keeps us from harm and leads us to purpose.

When the psalmist says, “You are my God,” it means he depends fully on God. This year, do not depart from Him. Stay close to Him daily. Ask God for discipline in worship and prayer. Discipline helps you remain faithful even when you feel tired or busy. Without God’s guidance, you may not know what to do or what is right. But when you rely on Him, He leads you clearly. Pray daily for His goodness to be upon you, and trust Him to guide you on a safe path all year.

Prayer: Lord, guide me, teach me Your will, keep me close, and lead me safely this year.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

WISDOM TO MAKE RIGHT DECISIONS

  James 1:5 NKJV says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”   God is the true source of wisdom. This verse begins by saying "if any of you lacks wisdom,"  meaning God knows there are moments when even His children do not understand what to do. Wisdom is not automatic. It must be asked for. God welcomes you to ask Him because He gives generously. He does not judge, condemn, or shame you for not knowing. He does not accuse you for lacking understanding. Instead, He gives freely, kindly, and without reproach. And the promise is sure, it will be given. God never lies. When you ask in faith, He releases divine wisdom to guide you in your decisions. When you want to make any major decision in your life pause and ask God for wisdom. Our minds are limited but God knows everything. He knows the future. He knows how things will turn out after you make that decision. What looks right to you ma...
