Psalms 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. 9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
God’s providences usually consist of three things: [1] The instructions which He has provided to us in His written word.
[2] His still small voice spoken to us through His Holy Spirit in our consciences.
[3] The situational evidences which are to help in guiding our decision-making processes.
All three of these providences are to be given due consideration whenever we have major decisions to make, especially those choices that can have a long- lasting impact on our lives. The Bible cautions us to acknowledge God in all our ways, and therefore, any and everything we do should be consulted first by His written word.
Not everyone has the ability, or has developed their spiritual discernment powers to the extent where they can accurately hear God’s still, small voice, and not all are able to correctly read and understand His providences. Yet, He has given us the assurance that someway, somehow, He will get through to us, if we are willing to be led by Him in all things.
Proverbs 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; 4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
