Wait For God’s Guidance

“Then he prayed, “O LORD, God of my master Abraham, give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.” – Genesis 24:12

In the book “Growing strong in the Seasons of Life”, Charles Swindoll tells a story about the 19th Century agnostic Thomas Huxley.

The story goes like this – Huxley was in Dublin and was rushing to catch a train.
“He climbed aboard one of Dublin’s famous horse drawn taxis and said to the driver -“Hurry, I’m almost late … drive fast”. Of they went at a furious pace and Huxley sat back in his seat and closed his eyes.

After a while Huxley opened his eyes and glanced out the window to notice that they were going in the wrong direction. Realizing that he hadn’t told the driver where to take him he called out ‘do you know where you’re going’. The driver replied ‘No your honor, but I am driving very fast!’”

Are you in such a rush to not seek God’s guidance?

Take any decisions you are facing to the Lord and ask for His direction.

It is morally impossible to exercise trust in God while there is a failure to wait upon Him for guidance and direction.

“guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long” Psalm 25:5
