The Lord will guide you in His truth and faithfulness and teach you, for He is the God of your salvation. So wait for Him expectantly as long as you need to in every situation to get His direction (Psalm 25:5). For the Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth. He will fulfill the desires of those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him; He also will hear their cry and will save them (Psalm 145:18,19).
So, in all things remember that Jesus is the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6), and He is also the One Who knows all truth in every circumstance you find yourself in. You will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free (John 8:32) to always do the right thing and in the right way.
Be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is never wasted or to no purpose (I Corinthians 15:58). And, be all the more eager to make sure your calling and election, for if you do this, you will never stumble or fall (II Peter 1:10). Stand therefore, hold your ground, having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God (Ephesians 6:14). And by your obedience to the Truth through the Holy Spirit, you will purify your heart for the sincere affection of your brethren, and thus see that you love others fervently from a pure heart (I Peter 1:22). Love not merely in theory or in speech, but in practice and in sincerity (I John 3:18). And, let your life lovingly express truth in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly. Enfolded in love, grow up in every way and in all things unto Him Who is the Head, Christ (Ephesians 4:15).
Be very courageous and steadfast to keep and do all that is written in God's Book and as His Spirit speaks to you, turning not aside from it to the right or the left (Joshua 23:6). And, by mercy and love, truth, and fidelity to God and man, iniquity is purged out of your heart and by the reverent worshipful fear of the Lord you will depart from and avoid evil (Proverbs 16:6).
If you put sin out of your hand, and far away from you and let not evil dwell in your tents;
then can you lift up your face to Him without stain and unashamed, yes, you shall be steadfast and secure, you shall not fear (Job 11:14,15).
