Your Compass
“The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way:
but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.”
Proverbs 11:5
Do you ever feel lost, like your life isn’t going anywhere? Maybe you’re standing at a crossroads, unsure of which path to take. It’s easy to feel discouraged when you don’t know the next step. But take heart—God knows exactly where you are, and He wants to guide you into His perfect will.
“ Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him
who sent Me, and to finish His work.”
John 4:34
What drives you? What motivates you? What energizes you to fulfill your dreams? Is it a success? Is it money? Is it the craving for a better life? Many people may have the drive, ambition, determination, or sheer willpower to succeed, but not many of them have the heart of integrity to stay at the top. Once they reached the glory of their success, they eased up on their integrity, character, and attitude, which they thought were no longer necessary to stay on top.
My Declaration of Faith:
Today I remind myself that God is never limited by what I see, or by what I don’t see. I may not have the resources, the right connections, or even the strength in myself, but God knew every one of my needs long before I ever faced them. His Word says, “Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24).
My Declaration of Faith:
Sometimes, what I really need isn’t another pep talk, but a gentle and honest push. The truth is, I’ve been holding back. Maybe I’ve told myself I’m not ready, not qualified, or that it’s just not the right time. But deep down, I know that’s not the full story. I’ve been carrying around excuses like baggage when God is calling me to step up and step out.
“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing;
therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;”
Deuteronomy 30:19
Since the time God created the first man and woman, He has given them a part of His divine inheritance, and that is to make their own choices. Unfortunately, they chose to make a path that caused the downfall of all mankind.
“Which of you by taking thought can add
one cubit unto his stature?”
Matthew 6:27
Have you ever considered that sometimes, after you pray for a miracle, your mind somehow comes into its own reasoning about how God would answer your prayer? And when He doesn’t answer the way you wanted to, you fall into a spiritual slump, thinking that God did not want to give you the miracle.
