"Who is the man who
fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way he should choose." — Psalm
25:12
In our life’s journey, the
paths we take in this world are often not the right ones; many of the decisions
we make are flawed. The reason is that our knowledge is limited. We make
decisions based on our meagre experiences and restricted understanding. That is
why we fail so often.
Yes, dear ones, our
knowledge is deficient. We become complete only when God enters into us. As it
is written:
"But when the perfect
comes, the partial will be done away with." — 1 Corinthians 13:10
Until then, we will continue
to stumble in many ways.
We see that for some,
everything in life results in success, while for others, whatever they touch
ends in failure. The reason is that God does not lead His chosen children in
the same way He leads others. Things that might end in success for others may end
in failure for those whom God loves. Through continuous failures and
tribulations, God causes people to seek Him with their whole heart. Yes, dear
ones, God tests His people through the "furnace of affliction" and
chooses them for Himself.
We read of this in the
Scripture:
"Behold, I have refined
you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction." —
Isaiah 48:10
In ancient times, sea travel
was an extremely difficult endeavour. It was very hard to discern direction in
the vast expanse of the ocean. After the invention of the compass, it became
slightly easier. Lighthouses served as aids, giving some indication of the
coastline. However, in this modern era, sea travel has been transformed. Ships
are sophisticated. GPS devices and computers accurately point out locations to travellers.
When we live a life without
God, we live like the ancient mariners. But after knowing God, we become like
modern travellers—knowing the exact destination and direction of our journey.
The reason is that if we have the fear of the Lord, He will lead us. This is
exactly what we read in today’s meditation verse: "Who is the man who
fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way he should choose."
Therefore, it is essential
that we live a life fearing the Lord. If we live that way, God Himself will
show us the path intended for us and lead us. When continuous problems and
hardships arise in life, this is the message we must understand: "God
loves me; therefore, He desires a change in my life."
If we are willing to know
God's will and correct ourselves, He will instruct us in the way He chooses and
transform our lives. Then, our life’s journey will be changed—resembling a
voyage on a modern ship equipped with the latest technology.
