“The Lord orders the steps of a good man, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand.” [1]
Recently, two words have come to the forefront of my mind: perception and revelation.
Perception:
“The ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.”
“The state of being or process of becoming aware of something through the senses.”
Revelation:
“The divine disclosure to humans of something relating to human existence or the world.” [2]
Both perception and revelation are vital to good navigation.
God gave us our natural senses to help us perceive situations and navigate through them. We can use our natural senses to observe and make conclusions.
God also gives us revelation by His Holy Spirit. He advises us to pray to Him...
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” [3]
There are so many matters that surpass our understanding, but the Lord says that we can ask about those matters and receive help from Him. We can even give thanks for those matters, knowing He will protect us and help us through them.
God says that He orders the steps of a good person. He leads people in good ways.
God delights in walking with us in this way. We are not perfect. We make mistakes. We totally mess up sometimes, but even then, He uphold us with His hand. He corrects us and continues to help us in life’s journey. God is a very gracious and kind life coach.
