Navigating Life’s Rapids

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Navigating Life’s Rapids.” Adam R. Holz wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Psalm 32:5–11 with the key verse, “will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”, Psalm 32:8. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ, all that I write, I first pray to God to guide my words so that it will serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

When I try to set up something technical or assemble a bike or furniture, I get it wrong. I failed to read the instructions. I often jump into projects and life situations without God’s consultations.

Life is turbulent. We have good times and bad times. Whatever the period of life you are in, first pray to God for his guidance and instructions. God promises to be that voice: “I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go”, Psalm 38: 8.

Confessing our sins and prayerfully seeking Him play a role in hearing Him. Still, take comfort in the fact that God promises to keep His eyes on you as reminder that His guidance flows from His love.

Reflect:

What circumstances in your life right now feel like whitewater rapids? How might you seek God’s guiding voice about how to respond?

Prayer:

Father, thank You for Your promise to be my Guide. Help me to seek You and listen to You as You direct the course of my life.

My Prayer for You:

May God bless you and be your guide to direct the course of your life.
