Our Daily Guide

Imagine for a moment that you arrive in a foreign city that you have never seen before. Upon arrival, you are given a map of the city and told you must use it to find a particular street. While the map is completely true, your limited understanding of how to journey around the city means it could take you hours to find where you are going! 

Now imagine the same situation again, only this time as well as a map, upon arrival you are met by a guide who knows the city incredibly well. In fact, they are familiar with every twist and turn. You would trust that this guide knows not only where they are going, but also the best way to get there. 

Even though the map is true and accurate, a guide is still needed to help you understand and use the map correctly.

Without the guide, the map is just information, but with the guide comes the revelation and understanding of the map, allowing you to navigate your journey around the foreign city correctly.

The Holy Spirit is our guide. Without Him, we are simply travellers stuck on a foreign planet with a map. Although the map is true and perfect, without the help of the guide, we strive in our own strength to journey around this foreign planet.

The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit guides us in every moment as we seek to live our lives in holiness and in such a way that honours and pleases God. We can trust that the Holy Spirit is a perfect guide. He knows exactly where to go and exactly how to get us there in the best way possible! 

All we need to do is surrender to His guidance and leading in our everyday interactions and decisions and trust that He will help us journey throughout our days in a way that honours God.

Take a moment to pray and invite the Holy Spirit to be your guide today. Surrender control to Him and look for His guidance in your everyday moments.
