Even through afflictions, uncertainties, trials, and great struggles of life, God remains with His people He promises to His covenant-ones, “I am the LORD your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go” (Isaiah 48.17). 

God’s guidance is His wise, decreed, good, and timely direction in orchestrating and directing His people and everything that exists. The guidance of God stems from His good wisdom, His perfect decrees, His infinite knowledge, and His all-sufficient Word. The Psalmist declared: “Lead me in your truth and teach me” (Psalm 25.5). What is so amazing about the guidance of God is that God happily and clearly directs His people through the unchanging Truth of His Word. In fact, God clearly led His people in the wilderness wanderings every step of the way (Deuteronomy 8.2).

God leads His people in wisdom through His counsels (Proverbs 4.11). His guidance is always best, upright and good. Today, the guidance of God comes through His revealed Word, the Scriptures, and those who “speak the word of God to you” (Hebrews 13.7). Through godly counselors there is victory and help (Proverbs 11.14; 15.22).  Practically and preeminently for the believer, direction and guidance from God is clearly received through the testimonies of Scripture (Psalm 119.24).
