Ask Him to guide you
Forever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in heaven. (Psalm 119:89)
The Word, both new and old, is overflowing with beautiful and timeless promises, prophecies, and words—more than we can even retain and hide in our hearts. There are also many things written in the Word for our instruction, so that we can benefit from the lessons of faith that others have learned.
He’s the ultimate in God’s Word! Jesus is the Living Word, so ask Him to guide you and speak to you personally. He’s the Living Word that always applies to every situation and to every period of history since the beginning of the world and all the way to the end of it.
So if you ever feel like your faith is in crisis, I encourage you to go back to the foundation—Jesus—and find your footing there on the “Rock of Ages.” Ask the Lord to speak to you and give you the answers you seek. Let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth and bring comfort and peace to your heart.
So even if some things in life are unclear to you or just plain don’t make sense, you can trust that the Lord will continue to be your shepherd, guiding you to green pastures and cool waters of His words that will refresh your soul and strengthen you. —Maria Fontaine [1]
What is the discipline that allows you to live in the present? I can find none better than prayer, because prayer puts you in communication with God who lives in eternity. —Serafino Tognetti
