Daily Devotional: God’s Guidance

Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. - Psalm 119:33-35 (NIV)

Read: Joshua 1:1-9

I worked for several years as a professor and tutored engineering students. My role was to guide students in their course work so that at the end of the semester they could fulfill the project requirements for the year. The majority of the students attended the tutoring sessions regularly and had excellent results. However, one student did not take advantage of the tutoring process, and his project was not approved by the review board.

We often neglect or put off our spiritual health by minimizing the time we spend with God and studying God’s word. But God is there to guide us. Today’s reading from Joshua reminds us to keep God’s word prominent in our life. Every day is an opportunity to invest time in our faith, explore scripture, and be open to the guidance God sets before us. These practices will enrich our lives and glorify God.
