That the Lord may show us the way

And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:) That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do. – Jeremiah 42.2-3

It is really, really hard to know what to do sometimes. Sometimes we get to the end of our rope and just don’t know what today. Sometimes we get to the point where we can’t even see a fork in the road and have to decide which path to take because sometimes we get to the end of the road and all there is there is a cliff.

We have all been there. Maybe you are there right now. Maybe there is a situation where you can’t see any possible human solution. Maybe there is no way out.

What do we do when they is no way to go?

‘Let is beseech the Lord…that [He] may show is the way…and the things we may do.’

God tells that He will show us the way. Proverbs 3.5-6 says that if we trust God with all our hearts, don’t depend on our own understanding, and always acknowledge Him that He will direct our paths.


We don’t have to be clueless. God will show us what we need to do. When we don’t know where to turn we can trust Him enough to direct us. He directs us through His word. He directs us by the Holy Spirit. He directs us through our circumstances. We need not despair because He will always be with us and He promises to be our guide.
