“The Secret of Guidance” by F.B. Meyer Scott Pauley

Posted in , , ,

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."

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

Years ago, I came to a crossroads 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.

“The Secret of Guidance”

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 It never goes out of date.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 hands 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.

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder.

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
