In Genesis, chapter twenty-four, verse twenty-seven, the servant had devoutly sought the Lord, and the Lord guided him along the way. The servant of Abraham responds to Rebekah, the woman at the well, by acknowledging God by verbally blessing Him for not being stranded on his master’s behalf. Abraham’s servant also recognizes that God led him to the house of his master’s brethren to lodge.
Psalms thirty-seven verse twenty-three is an excellent example of the steps of a good man are by the Lord and will delight in it. This verse ties into Proverbs chapter three verse six, where a good man will acknowledge God, and He will direct the path to go. Similarly, all believers should expect God to be the faithful guide throughout any situation as he did with Abraham’s servant. However, not to say that every believer’s challenge will be smooth. There will be obstacles at times but rest assured if we look to God for guidance along the way, He always makes the situation better.
The difference between a righteous man in Psalms thirty-seven verse twenty-three and a person looking for the answer is the person will not always acknowledge God. They will see God’s way and question it instead of seeing it and following without hesitation. Second-guessing is unstable, and that is where many get delayed and do not reach the place they intended because of this mentality. The problem here is there will be an earthly way that would attempt to camouflage the godly way. Many believers who believe in God find themselves lost or confused about which direction to take.
The truth in all situations such as this is if we follow God, we will depend on and trust His way. We should not allow any other source outside of the godly way to intervene on our behalf. God is the way, the truth, and the life. Trust and obey, for there is no other way.
