Guidance

"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart..." (Deuteronomy 8:2).
Scripture Focus: Deuteronomy 8:1-9

My friend served in the US Army's elite Green Berets during the war in South East Asia. I commented on how dangerous it must have been and how easy it would be to get disoriented. He agreed, save for the compass and map that his team carried.

Here in Scripture we have a clear reminder of God's faithfulness to His people. He led them "all the way" for many years, making sure they had food and garments during the years of travel. It wasn't an easy journey, but He led them.

He also desires to guide us through the wilderness of life that without Him would leave us depressed and in despair. He is our compass and our map! These are tough times we live in, and we should resolve to follow His Word. It will give us the strength and direction we need to complete this journey. The key to survival is found in verses 10-20 where we are reminded that there is no excuse for complacency. Our priority is to guard our hearts, listen to His leading, and walk in His ways.

Insight: Our Devotion Will Be Cultivated From The Rich Soil Of God's Guidance And His Knowing Us So Well.
