Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by evil. – Psalm 119:133(NLT)
GUIDED BY THE WORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you overwhelmed and confused by circumstances?
Don’t worry, God uses his word to give us answers
He guides our steps by the truth that comes from his word
It helps us thrive and navigate through this corrupt world.
Do not depend on human advice, run to the truth
The Lord has solution and his words soothe
He comforts you through Scriptures
He leads you to his plans for your future.

Many decades of my life were spent on taking care of myself and figuring out how to go through this world successfully. I didn’t care how God wanted things for me because I was busy making it on my own. I was wrapped up in my traumas and consumed by the desire to fix things so I could make a name for myself and be respected by others. I wanted to prove to everyone that I had worth. I never read the bible until I was in my late twenties. I consulted many books to help myself make it as a self-made woman.
When I became born again, I started reading and studying the bible. It opened my eyes and heart and learned so many mistakes I made because I never let God guide my steps. No wonder I was overcome by evil.
