There are several things we need to do to receive guidance from God, but the very first thing is this: We need to admit we need a guide! Most of the time we don’t want to follow God or anybody else. We want to go our own way. We don’t want to admit we need direction or that we need a guide. Sheep, by nature, tend to wander off the path. The Prophet Isaiah says, “All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own” (Isaiah 53:6a NLT). Another thing about sheep is that they have poor vision. They can’t see very far ahead. That’s why they need a shepherd. God made you so that you would not be able to see into the future no matter how much you try. Why did God do this? He did it so you would depend on him. We’ve all made decisions that at the time seemed right but later on turned out to be wrong. Some paths lead to dead ends and we end up off track. That’s why we need to admit daily, “God, I need help, you lead and I will follow.”
