Discipleship Focus: Guidance
- Guidance: God grants us His guidance. Sometimes this guidance is God leading us away from temptation. Sometimes this guidance is helping us to follow in a direction for which He has chosen. Our default position should be to wait for God’s guidance and then follow when it comes.
God will
always give us guidance. The real
question is what we will do with that guidance.
Will we obey? Will we
submit? Or will we reject His guidance
and go on with our own will.
Of
course, this is coming off of the reality that the people reject Jeremiah’s
message. Stop for a minute and think
about Jeremiah’s track record.
Everything that Jeremiah has said so far has come true. When Jeremiah prophesies from the Lord, it
happens. He’s got a really good track
record of having wisdom from the Lord.
Why do they reject Jeremiah one more time? They reject Jeremiah because it isn’t what
they want to hear.
It really
says something about us when we reject the voice of other people because it isn’t
what we want to hear. It is one thing to
reject someone’s witness because they are wrong or because they are using
faulty logic. But it is another thing to
reject someone just because we choose to think differently. It shows much about our character when we are
so willing to reject God’s guidance because we as human beings think that God
is wrong.
