It is the will
of God to guide His people and the nations of the world. In point of fact, God
delights in guiding His people and the nations of the world in every area of
life (Psalms 78 verses 52 to 55, 107 verses 4 to 7, 23 to 30, 73 verse 24, 32
verse 8, 37 verse 23, Isaiah Chapters 42 verse 16, 45 verses 1 to 3, 13, 48
verse 17 and 23 verses 23 to 29, Exodus Chapter 15 verses 13 to 14.
The reason God
guides His people and the nations is to provide divine direction for His people
so that they arrive at His desired destination that is safe, prosperous and
comfortable for them (Psalm 23, Genesis Chapter 26 and Isaiah Chapter 58 verse
11). Destination is not only physical but spiritual, financial, material,
intellectual, mental, marital, parental and in as many dimensions that He
chooses to. God knows the end from the beginning created you and the nations
for purposes that only He can help you achieve through His divine guidance.
God’s divine
guidance for divine direction always brings about prosperity, increase, wealth,
security, greatness, salvation, deliverance, expansion, comfort, joy,
fulfillment, health in spite of what the circumstances are. Any individual,
family, community, nation that seeks divine guidance and direction from God
will definitely experience and enjoy divine direction, counsel, instruction in
righteousness that will ultimately lead to divine provision, success in business,
career, academics, scientific breakthroughs, artistic excellence and what have
you.
Elijah was well
fed during the period of drought from the brook Kidron to the home of the widow
of Zarephath. Isaac prospered at a time when other farmers were complaining of
famine and poor harvests because he followed divine direction from God (Genesis
Chapter 26, Isaiah Chapter 58 verse 11 and Psalm 23). David was amply supplied,
sustainable food security as well as military, political, financial security
because he allowed God to shepherd him to green pastures.
David understood
this clearly and always sought guidance and divine direction from God (1st
Samuel Chapter 30 verses 1 to 8, 1st Chronicles Chapter 14 verses 8
to 17, 15 verses 13, 2nd Samuel Chapter 5 verses 17 to 25).
King Solomon
followed in his father’s steps and sought guidance from God on how to lead the
nation of Israel after he became King. God was so pleased with the decision of
Solomon that He added other things that Solomon did not request for (1st
Kings Chapter 3 verses 5 to 15). Other Kings who sought divine guidance for
divine direction and help from God include Jehoshaphat (2nd
Chronicles Chapters 17 verses 3 to 19, 18 verses 1 to 18, 20 verses 1 to 32);
Uzziah (2nd Chronicles Chapter 26 verses 1 to 5) and Hezekiah (2nd
Chronicles Chapter 32 verse 22).
