God loves us enough to predestine our entire lives, calls us, justifies us, and guide us. He does not leave us alone in this world to figure things out for ourselves. He is actively involved in our lives. He leads his people by guiding us through life to accomplish His purpose designed for each and every one of us.
God will reveal our offensive ways, so we will repent and follow Him to eternity in Heaven. His path is the right way. He counsels to lead us to glory. We make our plans, but God will guide the steps of those who follow Him. He directs our hearts to His love and Jesus' endurance.
God directs people directly and indirectly. His direct guidance comes through spoken revelation, visions, dreams, prophets, and the apostles. His indirect guidance comes from God's Word, conscience, conviction, providence, wisdom, and counsel. The Bible times were mostly direct guidance. We have the Holy Spirit to help us with the Bible today, so we mostly receive indirect guidance.
God's Word provides direction and clarity to situations we live today. It convicts us to be obedient. God's providence shows us how all things work together for the good of those who follow God according to His plan. God's wisdom is given to those who ask for it. It provides understanding to His commands, reveals the hidden treasure of Holy fear, success through integrity, and protection by understanding righteousness and justice.
Seek God's counsel and you will gain in the area you seek. Ask yourself where you struggle in life. That is where you need to seek God's guidance. Go to God about work, marriage, your church, and everything else to seek guidance. When He provides it, be ready to act, make changes, or surrender hidden sins. Pray, meditate, and make time for God.
