God guides your steps only after you obey Scripture's clear commands. When you live by His written Word, the Holy Spirit reveals specific personal instructions, opens doors, and manages life's details. Neglect obedience and you're left figuring it out alone.
Don't tell me you wanna hear God if you're not reading the Word. You want the Holy Spirit to speak directly to your heart, you've gotta be faithful to the written Word. Obey his general commands and he will reveal his specific instructions. So obeying what's clear unfolds the path before you. Psalm 37:23-24 says this, the Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Who does he direct? The godly. That is people who are living according to his will and nature. They're the ones who get the Instructions from Him. They're the ones who are guided with steps of favor that have divine opportunities, open doors, great connections, breakthrough miracles. Listen, if you will just focus on obeying what is clear in Scripture, if you'll just focus on obeying what you know God has already spoken to you, God will manage the details. He will take care of everything down to the last detail. He won't miss a thing. This is where you got to trust Him. We're so frantic trying to hear from God on every little thing all the time. Nothing wrong with wanting to hear His voice. But then when we neglect this, the details are left to us. Whereas if we devote ourselves to the foundational, then God begins to fill in all of those details.
