Isaiah 48:17 - Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your own good, who leads you in the way you should go.
God instructs us for our own benefit. He wants us to benefit in every area of our lives—health, career, marriage and family relationships. The Bible says that it is God who teaches us for our own good. And it is He who leads us in the way that we should go.
But we are constantly bombarded with things to do every day… What was the Lord’s response to Martha’s complaint that her sister was sitting at His feet and listening to Him, instead of helping her with the many tasks? The Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only ONE thing. Mary has chosen the better part (Vs.39), which will not be taken away from her." (Lk 10:41–42)
Many of us are like Martha. We worry about many things. And we are so busy that we have no time to sit at Jesus’ feet to listen to His Word and enjoy communion with Him. When we fail to draw from Him, we end up running on our own strength, and relying on our own wisdom to get things done. We can never have a plan that is better than God’s!
Do you want to be led by God’s wisdom and timing in your decision-making? Then, spend time with Jesus, open your Bible and say, “Lord, speak to me.” You will find that your heavenly Father takes care of your troubles, and He teaches and leads you!
Thought for the day!
God always has our best interests at heart. We have to listen to His Word and just have fresh, daily communion with Him, and He will make our way fruitful.
