OUR DIVINE GUIDANCE Our life is precious because the Lord our God will guide us unto His Eternal Glory. "For God is our God for every and ever: he will be our guide even unto death." Psalms 48:14 "Thou (our God) shall guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory." Psalms 73:24
If we be a disciple of Christ, the Lord our God will guide us in this life. Therefore, we should serve the Lord our God so that we can enjoy His Divine Providence which He will give us in this life.

"Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day."

II. We need the Lord to teach us concerning His ways because His ways are different from our ways. "Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies." Psalms 27:11 Our Lord said, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9
III. We need the Lord to help us to do His will because we must do His will so that we can be saved eternally. "Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness."

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them., I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:21-23
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR OUR GUIDANCE I. We must be led by the Holy Spirit because He is our Leader. "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself beareth witness with out spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." Romans 8:14-17
II. We need to believe the word of God because it throughly furnishes us unto all good work. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17
THE MANNER OF OUR GUIDANCE I. The Holy Spirit will lead us into all the truth. "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come." John 16:13
II. The word of God will teach us to be godly. "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4 "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue." 2 Peter 1:3
THE BLESSING OF OUR GUIDANCE I. The Lord will led us into paths of righteousness. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." Psalms 23:1-3
II. The Lord will led us in the way of peace. "To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." Luke 1:77-79III. The Lord will led us to heaven. "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for your. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:1-3
