You Are Not Wandering. You Are Being Led.

 

You Are Not Wandering. You Are Being Led.


You didn’t take the wrong turn.
You didn’t miss your moment.
Even here, in this in-between place—
You are not wandering. You are being led.

“And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way…”
—Genesis 24:48

Sometimes, all you have are pieces—loose ends, quiet prayers, days that blur into waiting. But then, something aligns. You look back, and realize: God was there all along.

That’s where we find Eliezer, Abraham’s servant, in Genesis 24:48. Sent on a mission with no roadmap, he carried only his master’s trust and a prayer in his heart. And yet—when it all unfolded with perfect precision—his first response wasn’t to celebrate. It was to worship.

He bowed his head in awe, not just because the mission succeeded, but because he saw the fingerprints of God guiding him in ways he couldn’t have orchestrated. “The Lord… had led me in the right way.”

That’s more than a testimony—it’s an anchor for your own heart today.

1. When the Answer Comes Gently, Not Loudly

Eliezer didn’t hear thunder. He didn’t see angels. But God was there—in the timing, in the whisper of a well, in the arrival of Rebekah at just the right moment.

God’s guidance often feels like that. Not loud. Not immediate. But undeniable once you step back.

He leads through closed doors and open ones. Through people we didn’t expect. Through places we never would have chosen. And when we pause, like Eliezer, we often find ourselves breathing the same confession:
“You led me, Lord… and I didn’t even see it at the time.”

“He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way.” – Psalm 25:9

2. When Worship Becomes the Way Forward

Notice the posture of Eliezer’s heart. He didn’t just note God’s faithfulness—he bowed in worship. Before he even told others what had happened, he offered honor to the One who made it happen.

In our striving, it’s easy to move from moment to moment, always looking for the next thing. But this story reminds us that sometimes the holiest thing we can do is pause and give thanks.

Have you seen God’s hand, even in small things lately? Have you recognized the subtle ways He’s shown up for you?

What if today’s calling isn’t to figure out the next step, but simply to worship the God who brought you this far?

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” – Psalm 107:1

3. When You’re Still Waiting to See the Way

And yet… maybe your story doesn’t feel like Eliezer’s right now. Maybe you're still standing at the well, wondering if the answer will come. Maybe you’ve walked in obedience, but the road is still foggy. Maybe you’re tired of wondering if you missed it—missed Him.

If that’s you, take comfort in this truth:
The same God who guided Eliezer is guiding you.
Even when you can’t see it. Even when it doesn’t feel like it.

He isn’t just writing your story; He’s walking it with you.

He hasn’t misplaced your purpose or overlooked your obedience. The road may be slow, winding, or silent—but it is still the right way when it is led by Him.

“Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’” – Isaiah 30:21
“He led them forth by the right way…” – Psalm 107:7

Reflection

  • Can you look back on a moment that once felt uncertain, but now looks like God’s perfect plan?

  • What would it look like to trust Him in advance—to bow before the breakthrough, and worship before the answer?

  • Are you willing to believe that even this path, the one that feels unclear, is not wasted?

He whispers even now:

“You are not lost. You’re not behind. I am leading you—still.”

Prayer
Lord, I thank You for every hidden moment You’ve led me in ways I didn’t understand. Give me eyes to recognize Your hand, and a heart that bows in worship, even in the waiting. Amen.

You are not wandering. You are being led.
Every quiet detour, every paused dream—
I have not forgotten you.
Even here, I am guiding you in the right way.

From Shame to Glory

Promise verse: Joel 2:26 "You will eat and be satisfied, and bless the name of the Lord your God, who has given you abundantly in everything that He has done for you. and my people shall never be put to shame" Introduction: Have you ever found yourself at such a spot where all that surrounded you seemed to be breakable? When your efforts appeared as a waste, your heart felt empty? That was the condition of Israel at the time that this promise was made to Israel, through the prophet Joel. The land suffered from locusts, crops were lost, joy was dried and covered the people with shame. But wait a minute! There comes this divine promise: My people shall not ever be ashamed. Today, under the theme From Shame to Glory let’s open this hope filled verse. 1. God Satisfies the Hungry Soul “…You shall eat and be full …” This isn't just about food. God assures to fulfill each aspect of our life. When we are empty — emotionally, spiritually, relationally, He responds with more than e...

When the Algorithm Becomes Your Altar

  Why Social Media Is Reshaping Your Identity Without You Noticing The Soul Behind the Scroll You scroll. And you shrink. Somewhere between one reel and the next, a whisper rises in your mind— “You’re not enough. You’ll never be like them.” And yet, you keep scrolling. You don’t even notice when it happens anymore. The smile fades. The shoulders slump. The peace slips. You were doing fine—until you weren’t. Welcome to the silent crisis of our generation: A shift in worship, disguised as scrolling. The algorithm didn’t just shape your feed—it began to reshape your soul. When Worth Becomes a Number "They measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves. They are not wise." — 2 Corinthians 10:12 (NIV) It begins innocently—posting a photo, sharing a thought, checking a comment. But slowly, quietly, we begin to live not from truth but from perception. Not from identity but performance. We start to believe that attention ...

The Way Is Still Right

  “Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.” — Hosea 14:9 There comes a time when life feels like it’s asking us for answers we no longer have. Even leaders—seasoned, polished, well-versed—can feel lost. You may be the one others turn to, but inside, you're stumbling through invisible terrain. The path forward seems unclear. The way back? Even harder to find. But Hosea 14:9 draws a clear line: There is a path. And it’s still right. The Ways of the Lord Are Right God’s ways are not random. They are righteous. “Good and upright is the Lord; therefore He teaches sinners in the way.” — Psalm 25:8 “The Lord is just in all His ways and kind in all His works.” — Psalm 145:17 In a culture where right and wrong seem to shift with the times, Hosea reminds us: the ways of the Lord haven’t changed. They are still upright (Deuteronomy 32:4)...
