Hi everyone :)

May you come to know the awesome mercies of the Lord and His everlasting grace for He will direct your steps! Amen!

Quiet Times (Psalm 80, Proverbs 20, & Matthew 20)

“Why try to understand everything that happens along the way, since the Lord is directing our steps.” (Proverbs 20:24)

This verse is so comforting and reassuring to me when I read it and put it to practice because I am reminded that the Lord is in control and no matter what happens along the way, He is directing my steps. There is no reason for me to rack my brain to try to figure things out until I am satisfied even through the hurt and pain for they have been a lot of areas I wish I could change back. Yet, I know it is my fault that certain things happen. The Good News is that I know the Lord has not abandoned me but even through it all is directing my steps.

 It is in moments of doubt and confusion that we need to remember that the Lord is directing our paths and not just when things are going okay. This is the lesson I learned and this promise from the Lord assures me :)

 I ask you now dear friends, what about your steps?

Dear friend, it can seem easy for us to try to figure things out for ourselves when we don’t understand why things are happening the way they do but the Lord Jesus wants us to remember that He is still there for us. He is directing our steps and will bring us where we need to be even though we feel we have messed up and have taken the wrong steps. He is the Creator of the Universe and can change our circumstances around as He chooses.

 I cannot understand why some things happen as they do when we don’t want them to happen that way. But our Lord does not want us to live in misery but to depend on Him and yield to Him. No matter what you are facing don’t try to understand everything that is happening your way but know and understand that the Lord is directing your steps through the pain to as you yield to Him.

 Savior’s Truth Engraves Purpose Sweetly! (S.T.E.P.S)/”What about your steps?”

 Prayer:

Dear Jesus, I want to thank you so much for your Word. You Oh Lord, remind us that you are directing our steps and we need not try to understand everything that happens along the way. Lord, you know the times we are discouraged and do not know where we stand but we thank you for your promises and no weapon formed against us will prosper you say in your Word. Help us to hold on to you Lord and to your Word not just focusing on the negative circumstances that have happened to us but knowing through it all your Hand is directing us. That alone is awesome to be joyful Lord. Let our praises go to you even in our direst circumstances please Lord knowing you are our Lord and Savior. Thank you Jesus you intervene in our lives. Whatever happens give us the willingness and strength to bear it. Thank you Jesus you answer our prayers. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!

Love in Christ,
Ramesh
