“The Lord will guide you always.” (Isaiah 58:11)
Hello my dear friend! Today’s promise is taken from Isaiah 58:11. This verse says “The Lord will guide you always.” In another translation, The Bible says “The Lord will guide you continually.” Firstly, you must know that it is the Lord who is guiding you continually. The Lord Jesus is your father a very loving father, but he is also the Almighty God. He is God in flesh. I Timothy 3:16 says he is God manifested as human being. It is true my friend.

If you read John chapter 21, Jesus stood on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. This happened after Jesus was resurrected from the dead. The disciples were separated from Jesus. Therefore, they decided among themselves to go back to their fishing trade. Since Jesus had died and was not with them, they went back to the fishing to get food for themselves. They were fishing the whole night, but they could not catch a single fish. Your efforts go futile when you do not fulfill God’s purpose. Yes my friend, you need to obey the Lord always and do his will always. Jesus stood on the shore watching his exhausted disciples, who could not catch a single fish after fishing the entire night. Jesus called them and do you know what he said? He said “My children, do you have anything to eat?” The moment they heard his voice, John who was always leaning on the bosom of Jesus aid ‘that is the voice of our Lord.’ They could not recognize him by sight but when they heard his loving voice, they said this is the Lord.

Yes! He is the Lord, who can do anything. His purpose will never go unfulfilled. Jesus loved them and called them “my children.” Even today, he calls you ‘my little daughter/my loving son, do you have anything to eat? Are you hungry?’ He knows you very well my friend. He is a loving father. He will not let you down and he comes to you today. You may have tried your best to earn your living, tried your best to carry your family, or put all your efforts to succeed in your exams, work, life or ministry. Maybe you haven’t succeeded in anything, but Jesus is there on the shore calling you ‘my child, I want you to eat the fruit of your labor. I want you to have success.’ After that Jesus told the disciples “My children cast your nets on the other side of the boat.” Behold! When he said it, a huge quantity of fish came into the net that they could not haul their fishing net back to the shore. He is the Lord and what he says comes to pass. He will make a way for you so do not be afraid. When they came to him with their nets filled with fish, Jesus had already prepared the breakfast. He had already cooked fish for them even before they could give the fish they had caught. Similarly, God will provide for you and supply all your needs according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus. Make him the Lord of your life and just praise him.
Prayer:
My loving heavenly Father,

Thank you for this beautiful promise word. You are the Lord of my life. I firmly believe you have a way for me and I surrender myself completely to your will. Thank you Lord for you will provide for my every need according to your richest. Help me glorify you always.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
