[Exodus 23:20-21: “Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.21 Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him.]

Many people say “where was God, when I entered into this relationship?” When we go wrong, we want to blame God. However, it is not God’s plan for us to find ourselves in awkward situations. He always wants to lead us away from trouble to our destiny. In our opening verse, He told Israel His people that He was going to send His angel ahead of them, to guide them into the Promised Land. However, He warned them not to disobey the Angel, but to obey Him. In the New Testament this Angel is the Holy Spirit. God has given us the Holy Spirit to always guide us and lead us to our destiny in Him. However, just like the Israelites, God instructs us not to rebel against the Holy Spirit, but to obey His voice. He is the one to lead you to that dream job. He is the one to guide you to your destiny marriage. Sometimes the way He guides us may seem not to make sense. You may find yourself in the pit or a prison like Joseph, but as long as you are following the Holy Spirit you will get to your destiny. So learn to yield to the Holy Spirit, don’t provoke Him. Don’t rebel against Him. If you are not sure, don’t move, just wait. For the Holy Spirit is never confused. He will surely locate you and bring you to your destiny in God without fail.
