When we have a good relationship with God, we understand that God guides us. We face moments in life when we are going through uncertainty, and God guides us. Our heavenly Father has promised us that if we rely completely on Him, He will guide us.
In various incidents in the Bible, we see God guiding His people. He used Moses to deliver the nation of Israel, and He led him. Moses himself was afraid to do this work because he felt weak. But God guided him and made him the leader of the nation of Israel.
Another example is David, who was a powerful king of Israel. His life was not as glorious as other kings, but he feared God. God guided his life, and that is how David emerged as the greatest king of Israel. David remembered God in every moment of his life, and God blessed him.
We should pray to God every day, read His Word, and seek His guidance. When we surrender our lives to God, He takes charge of us and guides us in His plan.
God wants us to acknowledge Him in all our ways so He will guide us. Let us surrender everything we do to God so He will bless us. Let us look at the following Bible verses that speak of God directing our paths.
