Isaiah 48:17
Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

Are you allowing Him to lead, guide and teach you today? I don’t think I have ever seen so many hurting people as there seem to be today. People are struggling in their finances, their relationships and experiencing extreme loss and some days it is obvious that they aren’t even too sure where to turn any more! No matter where you are today I would encourage you to stop right where you are and allow God to lead you! You aren’t going to get “there” by yourself! Allow God to teach you and lead you, trust me, it is the shortest path to where you are headed!

If you are hurting today ask God to bring the right godly people into your life for you to be able to fellowship with. Ask Him to show you who you may be able to reach out to if you need a mentor or just a close friend to walk with you through what you are facing. If you are needing to make decisions and aren’t sure what to do, I would encourage you to seek out some godly counsel and pray for God’s direction!

Are you struggling in your relationships? Is your marriage feeling more like a noose than a lifeline? Get a life coach! Bill and I have a trusted coach that has helped us walk through all sorts of difficulties, marriage takes work and it quite often takes someone who can see it from the outside to help you gain perspective. If you aren’t sure where to go to find someone to help you through your hurts or struggles in relationships check out www.aacc.net you can type in your zip code and you can find Christian counselors in your area and most of them will work with you on the cost if you tell them you found them on the American Association of Christian Counselors website (AACC).

If you are needing financial advise, I don’t know of too many people out there right now who couldn’t use some help with their finances at one time or another, so please go to www.daveramsey.com or for a 10% discount off selected products you can call Kim at Dave’s at 888-227-3223 ext. 5414 or email her at [email protected] and use the code PEACE5414. I am going through the program once again to make sure I get everything in order to the best of my abilities and I am opening up the opportunity for my children and their friends to go through it with me. We can never be too wise in how we spend the money God entrusts us with and it is never too late to start a program to get them straight if you are struggling. The thing I love about Dave’s course is he doesn’t make you feel like an idiot for the mistakes you have made in the past, He enables you to change your habits and begin again.

This seems like a rather odd study to me this morning, but I really felt as though this was what God was leading me to share. I am praying it will help you or someone you know. If you are not struggling in any of these areas that is fantastic, please share this with someone you may know who is. The best is yet to come!
