God’s Personal Supervision

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you....The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.” (Psalm32:8, 10).
Scripture Focus: Psalm 32:8-11

When I was a teenager, almost every gas station gave road maps to motorists for free. A few years later, they charged a dime or a quarter. Most were state maps, a few were regional; but all were indispensable.

Collecting state maps was a fun pursuit when they were free, but not much fun when they carried a price tag. These days road maps have become almost obsolete. Now, GPS and Internet maps tell us what we need to know about where we are and how to get to our destinations.

Psalm 32 records the joy and confidence David felt when he received forgiveness and restoration. He rejoiced in God’s personal care and guidance. God promised to provide personal guidance for David as he journeyed through life. David’s responsibility was to submit to God’s leading (vs. 9).

We can follow God’s guidance and journey through life with joy and confidence. God’s personal supervision (GPS) will never lead us astray.

Insight: In the challenging journey of life, we don’t have to go it alone. The Holy Spirit is always alongside to help us.
