A Guide

When I travel, I can type anywhere into my GPS and it will give me exact directions there. Not very often do we get lost when were going somewhere because we can just type it into our phone or car. It makes it really easy. I wonder how did people ever get where they needed before GPS, those maps are so confusing lol. Finding our direction in life isn't the same. For some people they know what their path is and are confident in the direction God is leading them. That doesn't mean it was easy to get there. While others search their whole life for their purpose. It can be heart-breaking watching someone you love feel lost. I don't know the path for that person or you, but Jesus gives us promises in his word to focus on while we let him lead us. 

Exodus 15:13

In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. 

Jeremiah 6:16

Stand at the crossroads and look, ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it, and you will find rest in your souls.

I truly believe when you walk in Gods path for you, you will find rest in your souls, peace. The ancient path is the path marked out already by God.  We can go his way, or our own new way. The only way to get that peace is to walk on his path already paved for you.

Matthew 7:13

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only few find it.

The narrow gate is the gate that leads to eternal life. The only way to have eternal life is believe in Jesus, because he died for our sins and made us right before God.  Others follow their own way they think they should go in life, but ultimately it leads to destruction and disappointment. We find our life in Christ, so that is where we find our purpose also.

A lot of times when people tell you God has a plan for you they have already walked their path. I know people who doesn't know where God is leading them and neither do I. All I know is you got to lean into Jesus and follow that narrow path (which isn't always easy), but it will lead you where you need to go. God will lead you where you need to go. When you are having trouble being patient check out the verse...

Isaiah 30:18

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO WAIT ON HIM.

Be in God's presence daily, seek first his kingdom, in doing this he will teach you his ways and lead you on his path for your life.

Colossians 1:9

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

prayer:

Lord I pray for Colossians 1:9 for all who feel lost. Give them spiritual wisdom and understanding. Also please be with them in the time while their waiting, let them not loose faith, but seek you and your path to peace. We thank you for your faithfulness.

Amen.
