Guidance

March 14th – Deuteronomy 31:6

Deuteronomy 31:6

Anxiety has become an epidemic. Everywhere we turn, people are weighed down by fear. Fear of the future, fear of failure, fear of not having enough, fear of being alone. The world is desperate for courage. But the courage we seek doesn’t come from within us, it comes from trusting the One who holds it all together. I’ve had moments where fear tried to paralyze me. Times when the unknown felt overwhelming, and I wanted to shrink back. But I’ve learned that courage isn’t the absence of fear. Courage is choosing to move forward despite it, knowing that God goes before us.

My heavenly Father has never left me stranded, never abandoned me in the storm. Maybe you’re in a season where fear is screaming louder than faith, where the weight of uncertainty feels unbearable. But you don’t have to carry it alone. God is with you, steadying you, strengthening you, and leading you forward. Even when we don’t see a way, He is already making one. Fear may try to hold you back, but trust in Him will push you forward. For you are never alone, God is always going before you.

March 6th – Exodus 16:4

Exodus 16:4

Exodus 16:4 says, “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘I will rain down bread from heaven for you.’” The Israelites were hungry, desperate, and unsure how they would survive in the wilderness. But God had a plan, they just didn’t see it yet. He provided for them in a way they never expected, sending manna from heaven, enough for each day. And isn’t that just how God works? I saw this firsthand with my son. After filling out countless job applications, facing rejection after rejection, he finally got a job. But it wasn’t the job he wanted, and honestly, it wasn’t what we had hoped for either. Still, we trusted that God was providing, even if it wasn’t how we imagined. And you know what? That job turned out to be even better than anything we could have asked for. It wasn’t our plan, it was God’s, and His plan was so much better. Sometimes we expect God to provide in a certain way, on our timeline, according to our expectations. But He sees what we don’t. He knows exactly what we need, and He shows up in ways that often surprise us. Just like the manna in the wilderness, His provision is always enough, always on time, and always better than we could have imagined.

March 5th – John 10:27

John 10:27

John 10:27 says, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” I love this verse because it reminds me that God is always speaking, I just need to listen. But let’s be honest, life is loud. There are so many voices pulling at us, fear, doubt, the opinions of others, and our own overthinking. It’s easy to get caught up in the noise and miss what God is saying. But Jesus promises that if we are His, we will recognize His voice. So how do we hear Him?

For me it’s through His Word. I hear God when a verse jumps off the page and speaks straight to my heart. I hear God in those quiet moments of prayer when I feel His peace settle over me. Sometimes, I hear God through the Holy Spirit nudging me in a certain direction, or even through a friend’s wise words at just the right time. The more I seek God, the more I recognize when He’s guiding me. But listening isn’t enough. I have to be willing to follow, even when it’s hard. Maybe you’re wondering if you’ve been hearing God and just didn’t realize it. Have you felt that quiet pull toward something deeper? A gentle warning when you were about to take a wrong step? An unexpected peace in the middle of uncertainty? That’s God! He knows you. He’s speaking. The question is, are you listening?

March 4th – Psalm 58:11

Psalm 58:11

Life often feels like a dry and weary land, full of seasons where we feel empty, drained, and uncertain of the next step. But Psalm 58:11 reminds us that God doesn’t just guide us occasionally, He leads us always. Even in the hardest moments He knows the way, and He provides exactly what we need. When we feel weak, He strengthens us. When we feel empty, He fills us. His presence refreshes our souls, making us like a well-watered garden, full of life and purpose. When the circumstances of life leave us feeling parched, God’s  living water never runs dry. The world may leave us thirsty, but God is our endless source of peace, strength, and fulfillment. Our constant guide, He knows the way and we can trust Him completely. For as Corrie Ten Boom once said, Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” If we allow Him to lead, we will never walk alone or be without what we truly need. What areas of your life feel dry and weary? Bring them to the Lord, and let Him guide you, refresh you, and strengthen you today.

March 3rd – Proverbs 3:5

Proverbs 3:5

Life is hard enough without a clear path to follow. So many times we stand at a crossroads unsure of what’s ahead, afraid of making the wrong decision, or simply overwhelmed by the unknown. But that’s exactly why Proverbs 3:5 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” God never intended for us to figure everything out on our own. He has already mapped out the road before us. One filled with purpose, hope, and His perfect plans. Yet, fear often holds us back. We hesitate, question, and sometimes even resist His direction because we can’t see where it leads. But trusting God means stepping forward in faith, even when the path is unclear. It means believing that He sees what we cannot, and that His way is always best. What area of your life needs more trust? Are you struggling with a decision, a relationship, or an uncertain future? Surrender it to the One who holds every step in His hands.

March 2nd – Psalm 32:8

Psalm 32:8

Life can be so chaotic and stressful. Responsibilities, worries, and distractions pull us in all directions, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about which way to go. And with all the outside noise, it can be hard to hear God’s still, small voice. Which is exactly how the enemy wants it. If he can keep us busy, anxious, and distracted, he can keep us from hearing the very voice that leads us to peace, purpose, and truth. But Psalm 32:8 is a beautiful promise from God. “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”

How awesome is that! Instead of just giving us vague directions, God personally guides us. Lovingly, He walks with us, leading us step by step. His guidance isn’t rushed or chaotic; it’s steady, sure, and full of love. And because He’s showing us the path He created for us to follow, no matter how lost we feel, God knows exactly where we are and where He is leading us. When we take the time to be still, to tune out the distractions, and to seek Him, we will hear God’s voice. All we have to do is trust Him and follow. Have you ever experienced a time when God led you in a way you didn’t expect? I’d love to hear your story!

March 1st – Exodus 13:21

Exodus 13:21

British author Vivian Greene once famously said, “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain.” A beautiful reminder that while uncertainty is a part of life, we can choose to trust, embrace the journey, and find joy even in the unknown. Yet if you’re at all like me, that’s easier said than done. Because although I understand that life is always changing, in all honesty, I don’t handle change or not being in control very well. Uncertainty makes me feel vulnerable, anxious, and uneasy. Feelings I’m sure shared by the Israelites after being led from all they knew to venture to an unknown land. But Exodus 13:21 reminds me that just as God led His people with a cloud by day and fire by night, He is leading me too. Even when I have no idea what’s ahead, God does. He already knows the beginning to the end, including my victory. I may not always see the path, but I can trust the One who does. That’s why during times of uncertainty, I look back when God was guiding me in ways I didn’t even recognize at the moment. And every time, His way was better than mine. Has there been a time when God led you unexpectedly? A moment when you didn’t know what was next, but He made a way? I’d love to hear how He has been faithful in your life!

September 30th – Proverbs 2:6

Week 5 – Wisdom In Seeking God (Proverbs 2:6)

King Solomon reminds us that the Lord is the ultimate source of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. And only by acknowledging God as the fountain of all truth, can we hope to receive the insight we need for life. Because true wisdom isn’t found in books or the philosophies of this world, but in God Himself. By seeking His guidance and depending on His Word, we commit ourselves to walking in His wisdom. This requires humility and obedience. Meaning a heart that is open to learning, and a spirit that is willing to be led by Him. When we make the decision to trust God’s wisdom over our own, we begin to walk a path illuminated by His divine light. This path is one of righteousness, where each step is guided by His truth. Though challenges may arise, we can rest assured that God will grant us the understanding needed to overcome them. As we continue to rely on His counsel, we grow in discernment and maturity, ultimately becoming a reflection of His wisdom in our daily lives.

Questions For Reflection

  1. How can we actively seek God’s wisdom in our daily decision-making and interactions with others?

September 16th – Proverbs 22:6

Week 3 – Wisdom In Parenting – (Proverbs 22:6)

With 1,000 wives and concubines, it’s safe to say Solomon knew a thing or two about raising children. He understood the evils of the world, and the importance of teaching the way a child should go from an early age. In today’s world, society teaches that truth is relative and anything goes. That’s why it’s more critical than ever for Christians to give their children a firm foundation in God’s Word. This means instilling biblical truths early on so that when the waves of culture or doubt crash over them, they will stand firm in their faith. Everywhere they turn, our young people are under attack. But the Word of God is the greatest protection, providing guidance, wisdom, and hope. Raising our children with an unshakable foundation in Christ ensures they ready and able to discern right from wrong, make godly choices, and hold fast to their faith, no matter the pressures they face. And that’s not just wise parenting, it’s a spiritual investment in their future. One that will bear fruit for generations to come.

Questions For Reflection

  1. How can we be intentional in teaching our children or those we mentor to walk in the ways of the Lord, ensuring they are grounded in biblical truth?
  1. What practical steps can we take to ensure that the values we pass on are aligned with God’s Word, even when society promotes opposing views?

Plant seeds of faith in a child’s heart, and watch them grow into a life rooted in God’s love. 🙏🏻❤️

September 5th – Proverbs 11:2

Week 1 – The wisdom In Humility (Proverbs 11:2)

The ancient Greeks had a term, “hubris,” to describe the dangerous overconfidence that often led to downfall. It was a warning against the arrogance that can blind us to our own limitations and the consequences of our actions. Proverbs 11:2 echoes this timeless truth, reminding us that “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Hubris, or pride, is often the root of many failures. It clouds our judgment and often leads to reckless decisions. But humility opens the door to wisdom, allowing us to recognize our need for guidance and correction. When we approach life with humility, we are more receptive to learning, growing, and making sound choices. Wisdom and humility go hand in hand, as one can’t truly exist without the other. By acknowledging our limitations and seeking wisdom from God and others, we can avoid the pitfalls of pride. And build a life grounded in understanding and grace, instead of one filled with regret.

Questions For Reflection

  1. How can we cultivate humility in our daily interactions to ensure we remain open to wisdom and avoid the pitfalls of pride?
  1. In what areas of our lives might pride be hindering our ability to grow in wisdom, and how can we address this with a humble heart?

Let humility be your guide, and wisdom will walk by your side. 🙏🏻❤️
