We always end up in the right place at the right time when we let God lead the way. He knows the way. He shows the way. He prepares the way before us. He is with us every step of the way. Jesus put it this way: “I AM the Way.” (See John 14:1-6.)

The Message paraphrases Psalm 16:8 with these words:

Day and Night I’ll stick with GOD;
I’ve got a good thing going and I’m not letting go.

Sometimes I get lost in my thoughts wondering what’s next. It’s verses like this one that remind me I don’t have to worry about what’s next. It’s verses like this one that turn my thoughts back to God’s purpose for my life. I belong to him. He’s in charge here. 

Ask God to guide you. 

Let God guide you.

Thank God for guiding you.

Trust God to guide you all the days of your life, and for all eternity to come.

—

I will let the LORD guide me.

Our Father, you are in charge of this journey, and I am not. Lead me day by day and step by step. Amen.
