O // OBSERVATION
Why did this verse get your attention? Make a simple observation from the text
It is so helpful to have a guide when you don’t know where you are going. God promises to be my guide, even to death.
God will be my guide all the way up to death and even in death.
There is no better guide than God.
A // APPLICATION
How can I apply this to my life today?
When we took a tour group to Israel, none of us had ever been there before. We landed at the airport and would have been lost, except a tour guide was waiting for us. Once we connected with our guide we knew exactly what to do.
There would have been anxiety without our guide.
While in the country our guide took us to the best places to see. We learned so much about the land from our guide. Without our guide we would have missed most of it.
God has said He would be my guide. How can I be anxious? Why would I want to leave my guide? I would miss out on what I should be learning during my stay here.
Even in death I have a guide. I have a guide who has been there and knows His way around. Because He is there waiting for me, I don’t have to be anxious.
Live like you have a guide. Because you do.
P // PRAYER
Express yourself in prayer
Jesus, I trust You as my guide in life and in death. I will not stray off on my own or become anxious because You are with me. Amen.
very comforting
