“He brought forth streams also from the rock and caused waters to run down like rivers. Yet they still continued to sin against Him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.” (Psalm 78:16-17)

No matter how the Lord has provided, the miracles He has done, or the ways in which He has saved people, there are those who reject Him and will not follow after the Lord. The rebellion is that people will do what they believe is right in their own minds. They will not follow after the ways of the Lord. Come to the One who is gracious and kind and loves those whom He has made.

Lord, You have loved me in spite of my rebellion and given me what I needed even when I have ignored You. Lead me away from the rebellion in my heart to surrender to You and know that only in You is there hope and a future. Lift me up out of the pit of despair that is the result of the rebellion that I may know the peace You give which surpasses all understanding. Create in me a new and clean heart, O Lord.

Savior of those who believe, lead me this day in the way I should go and that fulfills the Word that has been spoken. Take me away from the place of having a rebellious heart that I may be guided by You who has come to save as many as believe. Lord Jesus, apart from You I can do nothing, but in You all things are possible. Lead me this day in Your established way of righteousness. Amen.

“Then He led them with the cloud by day and all the night with a light of fire. He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths.” (Psalm 78:14-15)

In the beginning, God separated the light from the darkness. He has made His light to shine for all who see to see. He leads those who believe by the light of His countenance and will bring with Him those who follow Him to be with Him forever. He gives to those who ask and provides for all in the abundance of His grace and mercy. Come then and drink of His goodness.

Lord, You have come that we may have light and life now and forever. Guide me through the pitfalls of this life which get in the way that I may now and forever be guided by Your presence. Help me see each day Your goodness and kindness and live humbly in the way You have established. Lead me, O Lord, and guide my footsteps to follow You in all of Your ways.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for the grace You have made available to all that we may walk in the way established from the beginning. Help me now and always to see in You the hope of glory and live according to Your never-failing promises. Day by day, You are with all who call upon Your name, and in Your promise, You provide all the grace that is needed. Let me walk with You today in thankfulness. Amen.

“He wrought wonders before their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He divided the sea and caused them to pass through, and He made the waters stand up like a heap.” (Psalm 78:12-13)

The Lord has done many miracles and people still do not believe. Every day He causes the sun to shine and people do not believe. He who made all things and keeps all things in His hands is worthy of all honor and praise. He who is able to accomplish all that He determines is the One to worship, for it is He alone that gives life and is able to fulfill all that He has promised.

Lord, I too look and see, and then ignore all that You have done. There are times I marvel and then go back to things as usual. Help me, O Lord, to see that in You alone do I have my life and my being. Grant that I would forever hold fast to You alone knowing that the promises You have given are more true than anything I see around me. Lead me to praise and honor You above all things.

Lord Jesus, You have come as the ultimate promise. In You there is grace and mercy and a hope that is forever. Guide me, O Lord, into the way You have established that I may now and always live in praise and thankfulness for all that You have accomplished. Guide me today in the way You would have me go and let me see how much Your presence is all around and within me. Amen.

“The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows, yet they turned back in the day of battle. They did not keep the covenant of God and refused to walk in His law; they forgot His deeds and His miracles that He had shown them.” (Psalm 78:9-11)

Nothing is impossible with the Lord, yet in a moment when faith is required, many will fall upon what they know and not trust in the leading of the Lord. Come then into the truth of the Lord and know that if He leads, whatever He asks shall be accomplished. Come into His presence and know that the ways of the Lord are forever and shall not fail. Forget not His ways and live in truth.

Lord, what You have set before me is so simple, but it is not easy. Guide me in the way You would have me go and lead me according to Your never-changing word to walk in the way I should go. Help me overcome the temptation to limit myself  to what I know so that I trust in what You say above all the voices of this earth. Guide me out of myself and into Your Word that I may walk as You would have me walk.

Lord Jesus, You have already overcome the obstacles that are in the way of my steadfastly walking with the Father. Guide me in the way You have established that I may walk in the statutes that You have laid down from the beginning. Lift me up when I stumble and help me keep my side of the covenant You have given by the grace You have purchased that I may live according to Your eternal Word. Amen.

“That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born, that they may arise and tell them to their children, that they should put their confidence in God and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments, and not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not prepare its heart and whose spirit was not faithful to God.” (Psalm 78:6-8)

Generation after generation comes and they forget the ways of the Lord that the faithful taught them. Yet there always remains the remnant, who walk with the Lord. Those who walk in the ways of the Lord have confidence, for the promises of the Lord are upon them. Be not as those in the world who walk in the ways of the world, but as one who knows that the Word of the Lord is forever.

Lord, I see Your hand on generation after generation. There are those who have always hated You and Your ways and scoff at those who walk with You. Their influence in strong upon those of weak flesh. Help me be one who trusts in You that I may overcome the temptations of this world and see in You the hope for every generation. Guide me in Your ways that I may walk with You.

Lord Jesus, You have come to lead me in the way I should go. Guide me according to Your Word to live into the life You have set before me and walk according to the changeless ways established in the beginning. Help me now and always to live into the life to which You have called me that I may hold fast to Your promises. Be my Savior, Lord Jesus. Amen.

“We will not conceal them from their children, but tell to the generation to come the
praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wondrous works that He has done. For He
established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our
fathers that they should teach them to their children,” (Psalm 78:4-5)

Tell your children. Warn them of the way of the wicked and tell them. As with all of us, the
Lord knows who are His and it is upon Him to reach to those who will be reached, but tell your
children. The Lord is always worthy of being praised and the devil will do whatever he can to
convince us otherwise. Every generation should proclaim a testimony for the Lord and His
goodness.

Lord, you know the difficulties of every time and place. Guide me O Lord to humbly walk in
Your ways, speak Your praises and live according to Your Word. Let my life be a testimony of
the truth You have given me that I may walk in Your ways all the days of my life. Lead me
according to Your purpose that I may be the light shining Your presence and goodness to others.

Lord Jesus, Light of the world. You have come to show the way for any who receive the
testimony of truth You give. Let Your light shine through me that I may speak not only to my
children, but to all who will become Your children. Lead me in the life You would have me
live that I may forever praise You in thankfulness for the goodness You have bestowed upon
Your children. Amen.

“Listen, O my people, to my instruction; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.” (Psalm 78:1-3)

In parables which speak to all people in all places and at all times the Lord will give instruction which transcends languages and barriers. The Lord has given instruction and has prepared the way for all who will trust Him to come in faith and know that He is God. Be led by the Spirit and know that the One who has come, came to lead all who will listen as He instructs.

Lord, there is nothing new under the sun. You who know all things knows the plans You have for us. You created us to walk in Your love and to live according to what You have established from long ago. Guide me, O Lord, to walk according to Your ways that I may have peace with You my God and live in the grace You give to enable me to receive the message of everlasting life.

Lord Jesus, You who came in the flesh spoke in parables that all might understand. You have laid down the principles of eternity and have given them to us as Scripture said You would. Help me receive the message You have given that I may walk now and forever under Your guidance. Lift me up to see in You not only the hope, but the reality of a life to be lived that I may walk with You my God always. Amen.

“Your way was in the sea and Your paths in the mighty waters, and Your footprints may not be known. You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.” (Psalm 77:19-20)

Who can know the ways of the Lord or the paths which He uses? Who knows the mind of God? He leads those who will follow where He leads. As Jesus said to Nicodemus, the wind blows where it will and where it comes from or where it is going we do not know. But the Lord will lead those who will follow where He leads. Come then to the Lord and be one who is led by Him.

Lord, in my mind I want to know all things before I will believe, yet I cannot believe until I trust that what You say is true. Clear my heart of the doubts and fears of this world in order to come to the place where I trust in You and all that You have promised. Lead the footsteps I take to be those that follow You. Guide me, O Lord, in the way I should go that I may walk in Your ways always.

Lord Jesus, You have come to lead the way,  for You are the way of everlasting life. Help me see more clearly that You who is forever know from whence You came and where You are leading that I may know the way to go. Lead me to trust in You always and help me overcome those times of doubt and mistrust. You are God and I have been created by You. You know me better that I myself. Help me always. Amen.

“The clouds poured out water; the skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows flashed here and there. The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.” (Psalm 77:17-18)

Does the Lord control the weather? Does the Lord control what happens in the earth? He made everything and all is His. Know that all things are in the Lord’s hands and our egos will never prevail over the Lord. He is the One through whom all things have their being and the One who made all things has always held all things in His hands. Come then to the One who has all things in His hands and know His love.

Lord, the world says we have power over things. Yes, we influence and our sin has damaged, but You O Lord are Sovereign over all things. Lead my heart away from the egotism of this age to see that there is nothing we can do to overcome Your sovereignty. Guide me in the way You would have me go that I would forever know Your goodness and mercy and live in Your love.

Lord Jesus, You did not come into the world to judge the world, for the world is already judged. You came that we might have life and light and walk humbly with You, our God and Savior. Lead me then in the way You would have me go knowing that all things are in Your hands. Help me now and always to see in You the hope of glory that You have brought through Your salvation. Amen.

“You have by Your power redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You, they were in anguish; the deeps also trembled.” (Psalm 77:15-16)

The people have been brought out of turmoil and trouble and have been given what they need. But the people rebel and do what is right in their eyes and what happens is of their own making; but God is blamed. The anguish of this age is that which we have brought upon ourselves. God rescues those who turn to Him. It is a redemption of preparation brought through repentance.

Lord, I may not have caused all the evil that comes in my life, but I have caused enough, some of which others pay for. Help me see that You are the God who rescues, but when we rebel and push You away, You are the God that watches. It is love that You give and love that You desire. Lead me away from myself to come into the love You give for all eternity to those who walk with You.

Jesus, You know the anguish of this age, for You lived it. You loved us so much that You came to pay the price we could not pay for the sins You did not commit that we who have rebelled against You might come with You into eternity. Guide me, my Savior, in the way I should go always that I would forever hold fast to the truth of the love offered for redemption. Amen.
