How God Guides When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. John 10:4 Five Ways in Which God Guides: 1. God guides those who sincerely follow. … “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

2. The Bible is His primary voice. Your Word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

Psalm 119:105

It is a great wonder that God still speaks today through the Bible with greater force and greater glory and greater assurance and greater sweetness and greater hope and greater guidance and greater transforming power and greater Christ-exalting truth than can be heard through any voice in any human soul on the planet from outside the Bible. John Piper

3. God’s Spirit informs our conscience. For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:16

4. God confirms as we proceed. But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day. Proverbs 4:18

5. God leads in supernatural ways. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route. Matthew 2:12
