The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.
Psalm 32:8 NLT
Have you ever been asked by God to do something and you feel unqualified? You ever feel like Lord, I have never done ____________ before or you’re filled with more questions than peace? God often chooses the most unlikely people to carry out His plans. The key is to focus our eyes on God, not ourselves.
God guides you along the path of life.
Today, I want to encourage you to keep your eye on God! The Lord knows exactly who you are and He has chosen you to carry out His purpose. The process of following requires you relying on Him to show you exactly where you need to be. Pay attention to how the Lord moves; He leads, guides, and directs, if you watch Him.

As a child, nothing compared to the excitement of being able to sit up and waiting for New Year’s Day. We’d sit up as long as possible on December 31st awaiting the coming year. We knew what was coming, yet we had to watch the clock or we’d miss it. In this passage, Jesus reminds us of the signs before his second coming. He teaches that in order to recognize the second coming, we must stay alert. These verses prompt us to be mindful of the state of our hearts and to stay ready at all times for the coming day of God’s judgment.
REFLECTION – Do you find yourself growing weary in your walk with the Lord? How can you stay encouraged and ready for Jesus Christ’s second coming?
I know that most people are in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the season, but December always reminds me to slow down and reflect. It’s something about the cold weather that forces me to cozy up and sit still… I believe the stillness opens
