The Daily Guide
He'll guide you out!
Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me in a smooth path because of my enemies.
Psalm 27:11 - NKJV
What's often most needed in a situation is God's timely guidance. Whereas you think you need a miraculous change in conditions, God's Spirit may see that you need a wisdom-led change in your actions. What's more, although God can act to snatch you out of peril, where there's time He prefers to guide you out. He prefers to lead you away from the perils and out into His place of peace.
I have been in situations where it looked like only a miracle was going to get me out. Years ago I stood penniless in the night by a roadside in East Java wondering how we were ever going to reach our destination. I was desperate for God to pluck me out of there. It turned out it wasn't so much a miracle that was needed but a leading of the Lord. My children got that leading - they went over and started talking with some people nearby who then offered us a lift in a luxury express bus!
Showing you a better way of doing things is one of the best answers God can give to your prayers. The result is you mature in wisdom and knowledge. Those of you who have children are probably the same way with them. As they grow up you give them guidance instead of intervention so they can use their own capabilities in situations. This means they gradually need less emergency help and begin to walk more in wisdom and the peace it brings. Look for the Lord's leading. He can guide you right out of any valley of tears or valley of fears and see that you arrive in His promised land. Ja.3:17, Psa.23:3-4, 84:5-7.
Look to Jesus as your Shepherd!
