“The Secret of Guidance” by F.B. Meyer March 21, 2017

Are you facing any decision right now? In need of guidance? Searching for direction?

Almost two years ago I came to a crossroad in my life. We all make many decisions every day, but there are seasons of decision-making that alter the course of our own life and the lives of others. These are critical moments.

Reflecting back on that period there are many things that I realize the Lord used to guide me into His will. Day after day my prayer was, “Lead me in a plain path” (Psalm 27:11). He answered that prayer.

Wise counsel. Divine confirmations. Peace. Answers to prayer. Specific Scriptures. The Holy Spirit used all of this and more to direct my steps.

Outside of the Scriptures the most helpful thing that I read during that period was a chapter from F.B. Meyer on “The Secret of Guidance.” Dozens of times in recent months I have recommended this piece to others. Now I would like to pass it along to you.

Meyer’s words are over 120 years old and yet they are as fresh today as the day he wrote them. Truth is that way. It never goes out of date.

God has a will for your life. It can be known. And you will discover His will one step at a time.

I am happy to put these few pages in your hand and do so with the prayer that God will use them in your journey as He has in mine. The principles are from God’s Word. The practical applications are from a godly man.

Read these pages slowly. Pray over each. Examine your heart. Ask the Holy Spirit to show you “The Secret of Guidance.”

M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE).  We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.
