Isaiah 58:11 - God Will Guide You Continually.
Isaiah 58:11 (NLT) THE LORD WILL GUIDE YOU
CONTINUALLY, giving you water when you are dry and
restoring your strength. You will be like a
well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.
COMMENTARY PEARL
Decades ago, I read that people who write
out their goals are forty-two times more likely
to achieve them than those who don't. So I went
crazy - making and writing down lifetime goals,
bucket list dreams, and yearly and monthly
objectives. I tacked the lists to my bedroom wall where
I saw them often.
Some goals are impressively spiritual:
learn to meditate, talk to God constantly,
memorize Psalm 37. Others seem earthier: exercise
five times a week, declutter my office, find a
pair of orange pants like the ones I lost on
vacation (you don't want to know).
I've achieved many of those goals. But I
haven't succeeded by my own wimpy willpower or my
puny pea brain. Every item on my list that has a
red check mark beside it became a reality
because of the power of Jesus Christ in me.
When I gave my life to Jesus, He in
return gave me His Spirit - the Holy Spirit, who
guides and helps me continuously. He's the person
who gives me writing and preaching ideas. He
helps me say no to sweets and gossip. He pokes my
conscience when I'm thinking mean thoughts.
He hasn't brought me those orange pants
yet, but I'm not giving up! Jeanette Levellie
Faith Step: Write down five goals. Now
ask Jesus for the power of His Holy Spirit to
help you achieve them. [Mornings With Jesus 2024
