new SOAP - God is faithful to keep every promise

Scripture:

God promises: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye” Psalm 32:8 NKJV

Observation:

The Lord makes a promise to instruct, direct, teach and lead us. His Word assures us He will point out the path on which we are to travel Not one step can be taken without His loving, watchful, all-seeing eye upon us. God’s children can be confident they will not “miss a step’ as they walk forward in faith and trust.

Application:

As I ponder this promise during a time of great uncertainty, I told the Lord, “I know You led Abraham on an unknown path. You guided Moses and David and Joseph through trials and troubles. But I need reassurance right now that You will lead us during these difficult times.”

I wasn’t demanding an answer. I was pleading with the Lord to help me trust Him and to open my eyes to “see” the way in which He was leading.

Suddenly the word “butterfly” flashed in my thoughts. Peace flooded my heart as intricate details of the Monarch’s migratory flight from Eastern Canada to a specific grove of trees in Mexico were brought to my remembrance.

Fragile butterflies with tiny brains embark an uncharted flight-plan to a grove of trees they have never seen. And they all arrive the same week down in Mexico after flying thousands of miles. What a demonstration of God’s guidance in His creation!

Prayer:

Thank You, Lord for Your promise to guide and lead me. Thank You for reminding me of the amazing way You lead fragile creatures to their destination. Grant me grace to believe Your Word. Give me faith to move forward each day with peace beyond my understanding. I rest in Your promise, knowing You WILL help me make the right choices and teach me the way I should go, because of Jesus, my Savior. Amen.
