“I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not in himself;
 Nor is it in a  man who walks to direct his steps.”  Jeremiah 10:23 

How blessed is the Believer who recognized this truth early on in his spiritual walk.  Through many trials and testings we come to know, not only in our heads, but in our hearts that God is the One who controls our lives.  In this time of chaos we are seeing God’s hand in our lives and the lives of those around us; His moment by moment involvement.  Our God is not a once a week Sunday Lord, but He is the indwelling life within us.  Therefore, He who knows the beginning from the end is the One who directs our steps.  Let’s look together at Scripture concerning our steps being directed.     

“The mind of man plans his way,
 But the LORD directs his steps.”  Proverbs 16:9   

“The steps of a man are established by the LORD;
 And He delights in his way.
 When he falls, he shall not be hurled headlong;
 Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.”  Psalm 37:23-24   

“Bless our God, O peoples,
 And sound His praise abroad,
 Who keeps us in life,
 And does not allow our feet to slip.”  Psalm 66:8-9     

Our dependencies on Christ and to the Lord’s leading is to be sensitive to the ever present Holy Spirit, the Helper, given by the Father.
It is Jesus who said,
 “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with your forever; that is the Spirit of truth, who the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.”  John 14:16-17 

Jesus tells us in John 15:5.
“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he 
  bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.”  

The Apostle Paul speaks of dependence on God in 2 Corinthians 3:5, (Read the life of Saul/Paul and see how the mighty hand of God molded him into the great apostle to the gentiles who wrote 13 of the 27 Books of the New Testament.)
“Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God.”
And in 1 Corinthians 15:10 he says,
“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain, but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.”      

We, like he, are the Lord’s workmanship as we see in Ephesians 2:10,
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

“For it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”  Philippians 2:13

Proverbs 3:5-6 puts it this way (I know you can all say, and even sing, this Scripture from memory and/or experience.)
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
 And lean not on Your own understanding.
 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
 And He will direct your path.”                            

And so He will and so He does!  All praise, honor and glory to The King of kings and The Lord of lords.  Amen
