guidance

God’s guidance comes from “an interactive friendship that gives direction and purpose to daily life.” So reads the Renovare Spiritual Formation Bible. We will look at some texts concerning guidance from scripture and apply them to actions our lives.

 

God’s “sacred home” is a great metaphor for the reality of the Trinity that God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit share eternally. We are invited into the Trinity to be blessed, renewed and covered for the Kingdom Work God does through us. You don’t have travel anywhere, though. We are surrounded.

 

Think of how you are immersed in God’s presence as you go through this day.

 

Numbers 12:8

8 With him I speak face to face,

       clearly and not in riddles;

       he sees the form of the LORD.

       Why then were you not afraid

       to speak against my servant Moses?"

 

When we are walking close with God we are connected with our greatest source of wisdom. Well, who walked closer than Jesus? What he teaches and what he models are correct 100% of the time. If you don’t have a clear understanding from scripture of decisions you are making, why not? Is it that the Bible doesn’t have anything to do with what you are considering or is it you know you are gong with what you want, and not necessarily what God wants?

 

For the rest of the week, try thinking of Bible teachings that connect with the things you are doing.
