May 2024 – The Month of Divine Direction
sfanadminMAY 2024
OUR MONTH OF DIVINE DIRECTION
Psalm 16:11, Proverbs 16:25, Isaiah 30:21Let us consider the two words: divine and direction.
In considering the word “direction,” there has to be a certain goal or a target. Direction then, is the path or the way that leads to the goal or to a certain place. The question then arises: how do I reach my target; how do I achieve my goal in life? This question brings us to the second word “divine.” Anything divine is from God and something sacred.
In order to reach our target or goal in life we need divine direction. It is God’s roadmap for an individual and a revelation of the ways of God to men – Psalm 16:11, Psalm 103:7, Proverbs 16:25.
God leads in several ways: through His Word – Psalm 43:3; 119:105; through Instructions – Psalm 32:8-9; through a prophetic guardian – Hebrews 1:1; through the voice of the Spirit, that inner small, yet audible voice – Romans 8:14; through wise counsel – Proverbs 11:14, and many more.
There are requirements for divine direction. You must be a son – Romans 8:14. You must have a meek and teachable spirit. This is why the Bible says we must be like children – correctable and not full of pride. You must yield yourself to God. There can be no arrogance if there will be any divine direction – Psalm 25:9. You must have a quiet spirit in order to hear God. You cannot hear a still small voice in the midst of noise. You must separate yourself from noise so that God can minister to you – Isaiah 30:21. You must fellowship with the Holy Spirit if you want to enter into the realm of divine direction – Romans 8:14. Finally, you must hunger for God’s direction. What you don’t desire, you can’t receive.
My prayer for you is that God will divinely direct you as you surrender yourself totally to His perfect will for your life in Jesus Christ mighty name. Shalom.
