Isaiah 48:17 ” This is what the Lord says – your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you what is best for you, Who directs you in the way you should go.”

We ask the Lord to direct our footsteps according to His Word, (Psalm 119:133) but when He attempts to order our steps, we balk, drag our feet, or worse yet, dig in our heels and refuse to move. But when we complain to God about our plight…He gently points out that we’re still stubbornly standing still. We don’t need to be reminded that our steps are ultimately directed by the Lord, (Proverbs 20:24) and that His Sovereignty of purpose is certain and perfect. Therefore, it all boils down to our obedience and realization that obedience is not a wasted endeavor on our part. So when we’re praying for direction…we need to be prepared to move forward in the Lord. For God can’t do much if our feet are planted in concrete…other than using (Holy Spirit) dynamite.
