Devo 29: Why God Leads Me

The central message of the devotional is that God's leading in life is designed to humble and test His people, calling them to wholehearted obedience and trust rather than self-centeredness. Drawing from Deuteronomy 8, it emphasizes that trials are not signs of abandonment but opportunities to deepen faith and reliance on God, especially when blessings obscure spiritual awareness. The preacher warns against the danger of forgetting God in times of prosperity, when gratitude can be replaced by complacency, and urges continual focus on God rather than circumstances. Rooted in the assurance of divine presence—echoed in David's psalm—this journey of faith requires walking by trust, not sight, knowing that God remains faithful through both the valley of shadow and the heights of blessing.
