Finding Your Truth North in God's Guidance | iBelieve Truth | A Devotional for Women

I stood on Mount Fløyen, looking down over the city of Bergen, Norway. The colorful wooden houses below looked like tiny toy blocks nestled between the blue water in the fjords and the green mountains. In that beautiful setting so far north from my home in the United States, I took a break in the cool mountain air and tried to figure out where to go next. I was standing at a crossroads where several different trails branched off. Choosing the best path was important to reach the destination I wanted.

Life often feels like standing on that mountain in Bergen, where you look out at your future and see so many different paths you could take, from major career choices and relationship decisions to the minor choices that demand your attention every day. In this fallen world, it’s easy to get disoriented because you’re constantly bombarded by conflicting messages telling you which way to go. It can be a confusing and messy experience. If you rely only on your own sense of direction, it won’t be long before you feel utterly lost or exhausted by the weight of having to figure it all out on your own.

Thankfully, Psalm 48:14 encourages you: “For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.” This verse highlights how God is committed to walking with you as a personal guide for every single step of your journey through life.

“For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.” – Psalm 48:14, NIV
