How God Guides You

People are led in life through different ways. Some let fear drive them, leading them with constant indecision. Others are led by greed, constantly chasing the mirage of more wealth and gain. Others refuse to be led by anyone or anything. They are going nowhere in life. Yet, many are led by peer pressure, constantly craving the approval of others.

There is a guide on the pathway of life who will never lead you astray. This guide will lead you with wisdom to make the right decisions on the right path. Let peace guide you. Peace is your sure guide, the one you can trust throughout all the days of your life. Peace will always confirm the wise choice. You will look back with contentment and assurance, knowing that peace was your sure guide.

Peace will never pressure you to make a quick decision. Peace will always reject the wrong motives in decision making, such as fear, greed, and confusion. Peace ignores fear. Peace recognizes the deception of greed. Peace will lead you away from confusion every time. Peace is the sure guide, because peace comes from God. "May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace" (Numbers 6:26, NLT).

Peace works not from what your eyes see or what others say. Peace leads you from within, even from your heart. Peace is the fruit of God's Spirit working in your heart. Peace will never force itself upon your will. Peace waits for you to submit to God. Let peace guide you, that's when the Lord is leading you. "And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts" (Colossians 3:15, NLT).
