We are guided by God.

We need God to direct our paths.

We need to have FAITH that God will direct our paths when we acknowledge Him. In acknowledging God we recognize His will over our own. We desire His will over our own. We know that we may make wrong decisions and look towards the wrong paths, but God will guide us and in our errors He will correct us. 

We are in need of constant correction, constant direction.  If we ever get to a place where we don't believe we need God in all we do then we are LOST.  The places we go where we cannot invite God to guide us are places we should NOT be.

We need to trust, not to understand everything, but to trust in God that everything has its purpose, a purpose we don't always comprehend.

The Spirit that brings our Savior to us, the Spirit that unites with our spirit, this same Spirit will teach us all we need to know.

We can be taught of men, but a lot of time we are taught men's traditions, not the truth. We are taught fabrications by mankind, made up stories to further mankind's selfish desires.  And when we believe stories, men's traditions and discard the truth then we are not being led by God's Spirit, we are being led by Satan and evil spirits. 

We need TRUTH not lies to soothe our selfish consciences.

But to give up cherished lies, beloved lies, isn't easy because they are dear to us, they are a part of us - our past, our present, and what we always thought would be the future.

God's truth, or man's? They are NOT the same, even if we are led to believe they are by wolves in sheep clothing.

Please, Father, please teach us Your truths and allow us to believe ONLY Your truths.  Please.

By the grace, and LOVE of our LORD and SAVIOR, Jesus Christ now and forever!

Amen.
