Seeds of destiny devotional walking by divine direction
Here is a devotional based on the theme "Walking by Divine Direction" from the Seeds of Destiny devotional by Pastor Paul Enenche:
Title: Walking by Divine Direction
Scripture: "And the Lord said, 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.' So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." (Genesis 11:6-9)
Reflection: In today's devotional, we are going to talk about the importance of walking by divine direction. The story of the tower of Babel in Genesis 11 is a classic example of what happens when people try to go their own way, without consulting God. The people of the earth came together to build a tower that would reach the heavens, but God saw their pride and arrogance, and decided to confuse their language so that they could no longer understand one another.
Principle: When we try to go our own way, without consulting God, we are likely to end up in confusion, chaos, and destruction. On the other hand, when we walk by divine direction, we are guided by God's wisdom, and we are able to avoid the pitfalls and dangers that come with our own way.
Application: So, how can we walk by divine direction in our daily lives? Here are a few practical tips:
- Seek God's guidance: Before making any major decisions, take time to seek God's guidance. Ask Him to reveal His will for your life, and be willing to wait for His answer.
- Listen to the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is our guide and counselor. Listen to His voice, and be guided by His wisdom.
- Trust in God's sovereignty: Remember that God is sovereign, and He knows what is best for your life. Trust in His sovereignty, and be willing to submit to His will.
- Be willing to adjust: Be willing to adjust your plans and decisions if God leads you in a different direction.
Prayer: Dear Lord, I pray that You will guide me by Your divine direction in all that I do. Help me to seek Your guidance, listen to the Holy Spirit, trust in Your sovereignty, and be willing to adjust my plans and decisions according to Your will. Amen.
Action Point: Take some time today to reflect on your life, and ask yourself if you are walking by divine direction. Are there any areas where you need to seek God's guidance, or adjust your plans and decisions according to His will? Make a decision to seek God's guidance, and trust in His sovereignty.
Conclusion: Walking by divine direction is a key to living a successful and fulfilling life. When we seek God's guidance, listen to the Holy Spirit, trust in God's sovereignty, and be willing to adjust our plans and decisions according to His will, we are able to avoid the pitfalls and dangers that come with our own way, and we are able to live a life that is pleasing to God.
