Daily Affirmations - All the Difference - Day 5


In Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed. In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling (Exodus 15:13).


Our Father, Great Jehovah, Bread of Heaven, Strong Deliverer, in these early days of a new year, what an assurance it is to know that You are our guide!


You are the Creator of stars and galaxies; You alone know "the way to the abode of light;" You alone know "where the darkness resides." You have "journeyed to the springs of the sea;" You have "walked in the recesses of the deep." You hold the keys to "the gates of death" and You guard "the gates of the deepest darkness". You alone "comprehend the vast expanses of the earth" (Job 38:16-19). You "fill heaven and earth" (Jeremiah 23:24).


And yet great God of the universe, Father of creation, You stoop to our weakness, to our disorientation and distorted perception, to our wandering and our confusion, and You stretch out Your guiding hand to help us. You redeem us, and You lead in Your unfailing love; You guide us in Your strength.


What a comfort, what a blessing to know that You, God, the only One who knows the way, the only One who is the Way, You are with us always. What a peace, what a hope we have in knowing that You guide us through the maze, through the uncertainties of life, of time, of circumstances.


We rest in the assurance, God of unfailing love, that “You can do all things; no purpose of Yours can be thwarted" (Job 42:2). Lead on, O King Eternal!



Guide me, O Thou great *Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty, Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand. Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more; Feed me till I want no more.


*Redeemer (alternate text)
