A prayer for direction by Dr. Charles Stanley.

He has told you, oh man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. Like a six, eight. We naturally

want to determine our own course in life. It seems like the only logical way to get where we want to go.

But being wise in our own eyes is pride. To combat this tendency, the Lord

instructs us to fear him and to turn away from evil.

This fear is not a horrified dread of the Father, but an attitude of respect that motivates us to obey him both for our good and for his

glory. We naturally want to keep our money for ourselves.

A desire for a better lifestyle or fear of not having enough leads us to hang onto everything we get.

But our compass directs us to honor God by giving him the first part of all we have,

trusting him to provide for our needs.

We naturally hate God's discipline. His painful reproves seem to prove that he doesn't care about us.

But our Heavenly Father says his discipline is the evidence that confirms his love and delight in us as his children.

Sometimes in our desire to follow the Lord, we focus on obedient actions, doing what he says, but we miss his directions concerning our attitudes and

thought patterns.

To stay on God's path for our lives, we must make coarse corrections, not only in our our behavior but also in our hearts and

minds. Pray with me for direction from the Lord.
