From our anchor passage, it is clear to know that God’s intention for our lives is for us to be like Him. God created us in His image and His utmost desire is that we reflect His image on the earth. 
 
One of this Divine natures is the nature of holiness (Matthew 5:48).
Righteousness is a department of Divinity. To be holy is to be like God.
 
It is important to know that Divine direction is the way of consecration (uprightness).
 
When God leads a man, He leads him on the path of righteousness (Psalms 23:3).
To be in touch with God is to be led away from unrighteousness. When you are in touch with God, you are delivered from any trap that can lead to your fall into sin or iniquity. 
 
Divine direction is key to sanctification, purity and cleanliness of life. When God directs you in business, He will lead you away from the business that will take you to prison. When you allow God to direct you, He will lead you from relationships and connections that will implicate you. 
 
Beloved, allow God to lead you in all areas of your life.
 
Remember this: To be in touch with God is to be led away from unrighteousness.
