The Lord will lead you
Psalm 37:23-24
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:and he delighteth in His way
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand
In order to lead someone, you have to know the terrain very well, the obstacles, the hills, valleys and rivers in the area. So that you do not fall into a ditch, drown in a river or fall from a cliff.
The verse passage above says God orders the steps of a good man (,Christian). Even if he falls, the Lord will uphold him or lift him up.
The obstacles, valleys, hills, and rivers mentioned above are the challenges, obstacles, temptations and obstacles we face in life.
Because the Lord Jesus, came down to earth and lived with humans, He has felt what we feel, and knows how to deal with each problem and lead us to success and prosperity.
Hebrews 4:15-16 says
For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities but was in all points tempted as we are , yet without sin
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in our time of need.
All we have to do is to trust the Lord with all our hearts and ask Him to lead us.
John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
This verse from the new testament implies that christians know the Lord’s voice and they follow Him. They allow Him to lead.
It is only the Lord Jesus who can lead us successfully because He knows the terrain ( earth) and the people ( Christians). He has all the experience to lead us to success.
