A man’s heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.

Proverbs 16: 9

A good partnership is about having The Lord directing our steps. As a matter of fact, it doesn’t matter where we are being directed to as long as we’re being so by Our Father; after all, all acts of our Creator are good. Therefore, if He decided to take you into the sea, for instance, you must know that that’s the best way for your life because God never makes mistakes nor is He ever distracted. It’s also good for us to be wise and obedient so we have to see whether we’re being approved or not in our spiritual journey considering that He who holds all the knowledge of the universe in His hands.

Don’t engage in any business adventure or in any battle whatsoever without having The Lord directing you because you can only be victorious with Him. You know He’s guiding you whenever you take attitudes backed up by His Word; now, without that divine revelation you can be sure you’ll be defeated whenever you engage in any activity by yourself. If you’re not certain whether you’re in the right position to make your request or not then don’t do so. Remember, we can do absolutely nothing without The Lord.

Before taking any step you must see whether your attitudes are being approved or not. Children of God get distracted very often and so the enemy comes up with a temptation and they tend to easily fall for it. And those people end up missing the divine presence and that’s why their enterprise cannot succeed. Starting an activity and finishing it off, whatever it might be, must be supported by The Lord Himself nobody else – and He cannot be your Partner in any wrong doing.

Everybody else might say you’re taking the right direction but if deep there in your heart you cannot feel peace or if your soul happens to be troubled, if there’s any evil desire in your inner being and if you’re not taking the right attitudes from the point of view of The Lord you must forget your petition. Beforehand, it’s necessary for you to make amends with God because He won’t walk where the devil is present. Once you have faith and are blameless you can be certain that you’ll have The Almighty by your side!

There are no contradictions in the words of The Lord and no errors can be found in all of His enterprises. He’s a complete Being and All of His ways are perfect (II Samuel 22: 31) and also His directions. Yet, if you feel you must do something that is prohibited by The Word and also by The Heavens you must drop it at once. I can tell you that The Lord won’t use His people not even one single time to do something absolutely opposite to the directions stated in The Scriptures.

It doesn’t matter the path The Most High has chosen for you to take considering that He always knows very well what to do. Some people need to suffer during their learning process otherwise they wouldn’t take that way; as for others if things were too easy they’d take a detour through their journey and then would get lost perennially. However, God always knows what to do.

The truth is that The Lord never makes any mistake nor is He ever distracted (Psalm 119: 137). He handpicked you because He loved you (John 3: 16). So, do fulfil your calling with total dedication and at the end of your journey you’ll see that He is The One who indeed guided your steps. The Lord’s goal is to have you succeed at all times and then, in the eternity, have you side by side with Him.

In Christ, with love,
