Have you ever seen a genuine blind beggar (Not the
ones that would claim they are blind and when you give them torn currency, they
would tell you it is not nice to give a beggar torn money)? You would always
see someone like a guide with him/her. The guide is the one that dictates to
the blind man where they need to go, to make good income and when to go based
on the research he would have done. The blind man would follow the guide even
if they were entering a well because he trusts that the guide has got his back.
As believers, we have a Guide that is unmatchable in
power, wisdom and knowledge. That is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can help
the single person make the right choice of a life partner. The Holy Spirit can
help the housewife cook the meal that the husband has been dreaming of all
through the day. The Holy Spirit can help the businessman know which office to
enter with what proposal that will change his life forever. Isa 30:21 says, “And
thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in
it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” Open your
ears to Him!
One of my mentors once said that if the Holy Spirit
says go this way, and it is clear it is a wall without any door, he would not
hesitate because it means there is going to be a way there. As long as you rely
on your own wisdom, you will be limited, but when you completely depend on your
Guide – the Holy Spirit, you will be unlimited and unstoppable because He knows
the end from the beginning.
One sure way to be guided is by reading the word of
God. God’s word guides us into what God has prepared for us. You can mishear
but you can never misread.
Enjoy divine guidance this week!
