(Proverbs 3:5) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."
This series is about how GOD is believed to communicate with us all. (5). Other People: Wise counsel from others: spiritual leaders or fellow believers.
GOD desires us to believe, know, and trust Him. His direction will often be revealed through unexpected opportunities and challenges. We have to remain aware of the Holy Spirit's Presence, through inner peace or discomfort, and always make sure that whatever happens aligns with Scripture.
"Our main client had gone bankrupt owing us £400,000! We couldn't pay our debts and were desperately praying for ‘deliverance’! One morning, as I walked around the grounds of our offices, I finished my prayer with a cry, “Lord, if You truly love me, then send me a sign, not just any sign — in fact, send me Pastor Michael with a Word from You”!
NB - We later learned (from Pastor Michael) that he had been praying and felt drawn to Psalm 31. The first four verses stood out to him, and he realised they were meant for my company and me. Pastor Michael immediately stopped what he was doing and drove to our office. I was talking with Iain, my co-director, when my office door suddenly swung open, leaving us both surprised. Standing there was Pastor Michael.
He asked for a Bible and began reading the first four verses of Psalm 31 aloud.
In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me!
Pastor Michael went on to say that he felt that we should pray this Psalm over ourselves and specifically target the three points mentioned:
1. Never let me (me/my company) be put to shame
2. He is the “Rock” of our refuge—not our customers!
3. Free me (me/my company) from the trap that is set for me (me/ my company)!
We then prayed together, and before the working day was out, work started coming in. We never got back the full amount they owed us, but other work came flooding in, so we were miraculously set FREE! Praise His Glorious Name! (Warren)

Let us pray, "Heavenly Father, help me to be attuned to the circumstances that reveal Your direction and purpose for my life. Grant me wisdom to recognise Your hand in unexpected opportunities and challenges. Fill my heart with peace where there is alignment, and unease where there is not. May the counsel of others and the truths in Your Word confirm Your will for me. Lead me through prayerful reflection, and strengthen my trust in Your perfect plan." Amen!
