“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, never forsake those who seek you” (Psalm 9:10).
The hustle and bustle of the world around us constantly tries to steal our attention and draw us away from what truly matters. But there is a divine invitation to enter the gates of our own hearts and remain there. It is in this intimate and silent place that we can clearly hear the sweet guidance of God for our lives. When we stop chasing answers outside and begin to seek within, guided by the Lord’s presence, we realize that He has always had something to show us—a path, a choice, a surrender.
And when He shows us the way, it is up to us to take the right steps. There is beauty and power in following the guidance of our Creator—guidance He has already revealed in His magnificent commandments. As we embrace His will in our daily lives, we prove that our hearts are set on things above. It is not about seeking emotional experiences, but about living a life grounded in obedience that transforms, sustains, and honors the One who formed us.
God only reveals His plans to the obedient. Each new day, we have the chance to be guided by Him with safety and purpose. If we desire to come to Jesus and receive all that the Father has prepared for us, we must walk sincerely before His word. The Father blesses and sends the obedient to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Choose to obey, and prepare to see the Lord’s promises fulfilled. -Adapted from John Tauler. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Dear Father, help me to silence the external voices that try to confuse my steps. Lead me to a place of inner peace where I can hear Your voice clearly and find security in Your plans. May my soul learn to rest in You.
Give me discernment to recognize Your will in every small decision of my day. Teach me to value the paths You have traced from the beginning, for I know that there lies the true good for my life. May I not walk by impulse, but with firmness and reverence.
Oh beloved Lord, I thank You for showing me that the secret of peace is in hearing and following Your voice. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a river of wisdom that waters my heart. Your commandments are safe paths that lead my soul to life. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
