Daily Manna: Seek Gods Guidance TEXT: JUDGES 1:1-8 KEY VERSE: “Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?” (Judges 1:1). The use of a compass is very important for direction. The compass is an instrument to direct the movement of ships and aircraft. Sailors, pilots and navigators use it for direction to their expected destinations. Good as this and other devices are, God’s guidance is more perfect, faultless and accurate than them all. After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel consulted God for direction on how the tribes of Israel should fight the Canaanites. In answer to their request, God appointed Judah to go first. He went to battle with the assistance of the tribe of Simeon and God gave them great victory. Major and minor tasks may require expert advice to avoid failure and defeat. In vital decisions of life like marriage, worship, career, journey, business partnership, choice of accommodation and others, God’s guidance must be carefully sought. Believers must trust God and walk by faith in accordance to His word. Never lean on your own understanding; “in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” This is a sure promise for those who forsake all and trust Him. God is faithful to direct us when we are willing to follow Him. He does not always show us the whole picture of the entire journey at a stretch, but He makes the picture clearer as we follow His steps. God says, “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye” (Psalm 32:8). Before you leave your home today, claim this promise of God, and it shall be well with you. Remember, you can never trust God and miss your way. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. Dont forget to SHARE!
