A prayer for direction by Meg Bucker, read by Ellie Johnson.

Today's Bible verse is 1st Corinthians 16, 13 through 14. Be on guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong, and do everything with love.

Direction, a purpose or orientation toward a goal that serves to guide or motivate

has an inevitable flow in our lives.

In consideration of our daily direction, has an inevitable flow in our lives.

In consideration of our daily direction, the above verse from Romans aligns our internal

compass with the one who breathes strength and purpose into the very muscles that compel us.

The NIV Cultural Background Study Bible states that,

conclusion sometimes summarized key points in a work,

love is one such point.

When we seek direction, does love have the final say on our propelled steps?

In Matthew Henry's commentary, he states many reasons the Corinthians were instructed by Paul to be on guard.

There were people looking to deceive and corrupt their faith to manipulate their direction.

A Christian is always in danger and therefore should ever be on the watch, Henry stated.

Even today we must stay alert to the current status of our life's direction.

Our direction stems from faith.

Paul encouraged the Corinthians to stand firm in the faith.

Scripture tells us to take captive every thought

and to align all we hear with the truth of the gospel.

Reading scripture daily builds godly confidence,

preventing the propulsion down a path that doesn't align with his unique purpose for our lives.

God's direction for our lives.
