There are at least two essentials to the Spirit-filled life—prayer and the Word of God. They are like two wings on the same bird: without either one, you simply can’t fly. Prayer gains power, direction, and depth from God’s revealed truth in Scripture. That’s why you must study the Bible and be a person of prayer—they are meant to work together.

In Psalm 119, almost every verse refers to the Scriptures. Verse 133 is a prayer for direction. The Psalmist here pleads for guidance from the Word of God.

Have you ever considered that God wants to guide every step you take? He desires to guide not only the big steps in your life, but even the mundane steps you take every day in the kitchen or your workplace. He will also guide you to the friend who needs encouragement, the neighbor who needs Jesus, and the co-worker who needs a witness of God’s love.

Reflection Question:

What is one small area of your daily life where you need to begin intentionally seeking God's direction?

Prayer Focus:

Thank God for guiding our church through Scripture and prayer to expand our vision and build a larger facility. Ask the Lord to continue to give Pastor Blake, the staff, and the elders the wisdom and discernment needed to accomplish everything He has placed before us. Thank God for His guidance of your steps. Ask Him to continue to guide you by making the Scripture you read become alive and personal to you.
