“ If you wander off the road to the right or the left, you will hear his voice behind you saying, “Here is the road. Follow it.’’
- Isaiah 30:21 GNT
When man was created, he was not just left to wander about in the garden of Eden, to figure it out, or to assume what next to do with life. In Gen 1:27 NKJV, So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Wow! What a plan! God did not leave anything to chance. He is a master planner. From the first breathe, man knew exactly why he was made and what to do. Man heard the voice of God.
Yes, it is 2024 but the word of God has not changed. Do you really think you can go through life without having a word from God? The first man couldn’t, you wouldn’t either. It is dangerous to walk through life each day without having a word from God, and yet feel comfortable.
Without a word, priorities are misplaced, directions are missed, and life could be stressful. Have you ever tried to drive from one city to another without a map or navigation system? That journey would really be longer than necessary, and exhausting.
It is dangerous to walk through life each day without having a word from God.
God still speaks today through various channels. The word of God is available as a guide for every decision you might want to take. Remember His word in 2 Peter 1:3 KJV, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.
All that you need, all that you will ever need, answers to the burning questions in your mind and the directions you seek on what to do can all be found in His word—get a word. The Holy Spirit still speaks, you only need to position yourself to hear from Him. That sermon you heard might have been God giving you a word concerning that matter.
Today, before you step out, make sure you have a word from God that you are holding on to. Don’t just pray, pray until you have a word from God. Before you say yes to that proposal, ensure the word from God is a go as well. Never take a step without God. He is near you now and ever, closer to you than you know. He hears the faintest whispers; all you need to do is ask.

Ancient words ever true
Changing me and changing you.
We have come with open hearts
Oh, let the ancient words impart.
Song Ancient words by Michael W. Smith
Prayer - Lord, I look to you today to guide me in all my ways. I acknowledge that I cannot go through life on my own. I trust in you, Lord, I lean not on my own understanding, speak to me today, and direct my path in Jesus' name. (Amen)
