Your Personalised Road Map

Your Personalised Road Map

‘Who works out everything in conformity with … his will.’
Ephesians 1:11

The Bible says before you were born: ‘Every day of [your] life was recorded … Every moment … laid out before a single day had passed’ (Psalm 139:16 NLT). God personalised a road map for your life ‘in conformity with … his will’. And it’s your job to discover it and walk within its confines. Respected pastor Terry Nance says: ‘You may know your ultimate destination, but need guidance on how to get there. First and foremost, “God’s Word is a lamp for your feet and a light for your path” (Psalm 119:105). He sees the big picture … the shortcuts and pitfalls … Don’t look for external guidance … the Holy Spirit lives inside you, and it’s from within that you’ll get the inside track.’ Meditate on these Scriptures and make them personal prayers: ‘God has made us what we are … to do good works, which [He] planned in advance for us to live our lives doing’ (Ephesians 2:10 NCV). ‘The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives’ (Psalm 37:23 NLT). ‘You clear the way for me, and now I won’t stumble’ (Psalm 18:36 CEV). ‘Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take’ (Proverbs 3:6 NLT). ‘Behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or … left’ (Isaiah 30:21 NLT). At the end of his life Paul could say, ‘I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith’ (2 Timothy 4:7 KJV). Notice, sometimes Paul had to ‘fight’ to stay on course, but by God’s grace he made it - and so will you!
