The Lord Will not just Direct anyone's paths willy nilly because He is God and Love! You must trust/hope in Him wholeheartedly and not lean upon your own understanding as many are wont to doing! It is expedient that you acknowledge Him in all your ways. Then you can expect by faith to get His attention; and for His Love, Blessings and other benefits to flow forth unto you from the Throne of Mercy and Grace. Lord, Help incline our hearts towards You increasingly; to trust/hope in You all the days of our lives in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Psalm 37:23,24 KJV
The steps of a righteous (good) man are ordered by the Lord; not just anybody's steps. Please take note! God's Love is not cheap and definitely not unconditional! Were it unconditional, there would be no need for any expectations of us from God before we receive His Blessings! As it is, all over the Holy Scriptures, there are these requirements from God for us to enjoy His Love and Blessings! Take heed; the Word of the Living God in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. With Your counsel You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. Psalm 73:23-5 NASB
When you show the Lord that you need Him and Him alone and you take hold of His Hand and behave yourself according to His Word and requirements, He Will never let you down! Then, He Will Guide and Direct your paths unto eternity in Jesus'' Name. Help me o Lord to draw near to You so that You will draw near to me and never leave me alone in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. Joshua 1:5-7 ESV
When the Lord puts you in leadership and you not only put your hope/trust in Him, but encourage those you are leading to do likewise, then you will have good success! The Promises and Blessings of God shall be yours and you shall overcome all enemy actions over your affairs! Is it not good for a leader to hope/trust in the Lord always? You must however combine boldness and courage with your faith in God in order that fear will not take root in your heart and psyche! The Word of God clearly says that the fearful will not get to Heaven! Lord Help me to combine boldness and courage with my faith in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 'Teacher,' they said, 'Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?' Jesus replied, 'You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.' Matthew 22:23-30 (NIVUK)
Man loves to test and ridicule the Word of the Living and Loving God! So much so far removed are some from the Word of the Living God that they believe that if they kill believers, they will have so many virgins waiting for them in Heaven to enjoy; as if there will be sexual activities in Heaven as on earth? Some believe these and on these fake beliefs, go round killing themselves and many others at the same time. O no! It is a disaster to play with the certainty of hell fire and eternal damnation! Lord, Help us to believe in the Way, Truth and Life in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
(5) Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless indeed you are disqualified. 2 Corinthians 13:5
(12) For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
2 Corinthians 10:12
Suffice unto you to test and examine yourselves just as per being and remaining in the Faith; as against measuring yourselves with those people who commend themselves amongst each other - measuring and comparing themselves likewise - alas, a fruitless endeavour! Is Jesus Christ in you? You need to be very sure; in case you are running your race in vain! Father, please come into my life and stay forevermore in Jesus' Name. Amen! I need you every breath that I take o Lord in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
