What is the state of your life generally? Is it good? Or is it bad? There will always be challenges in life. Things will go bad at times, but generally, the state of your life is the sum total of the choices you have made over the course of your life. If your choices have been generally good, then your life will be in a good state and the converse is true.

This is a call for serious self-examination. How can we always make the right choices, when there are so many contending voices? My answer? Seek God in everything. Don’t just ask. Listen and then do what He tells you to do. Obedience unlocks your blessing, and obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22). Save yourself from heartache and grief. Do it His way.

Not everything that seems to be good is good. In order to avoid deception, allow Him to guide you in ALL things, even the things which in your mind are trivial and don’t warrant His attention. On the contrary, He is concerned about even the minute details of our lives and so nothing is too big or too small in HIs eyes. He has our best interest at heart. Let us ask Him to order our steps. He is waiting for us to do so.

Meditate on the following scriptures as you seek His guidance:

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy path.(Proverbs 3: 5-6)

There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. (Proverbs 14:12)
