Follow The Leader
A dear pal sent me this, and although I've read it several times before, I really enjoyed reading it again.
PSALM 23
'I shall not want' = That's Supply!
'He maketh me to lie down in green pastures' = That's Rest!
'He leadeth me beside the still waters' = That's Refreshment!
'He restoreth my soul' = That's Healing!
'He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness' = That's Guidance!
'For His name sake' = That's Purpose!
'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death' = That's Testing!
'I will fear no evil' = That's Protection!
'For Thou art with me' = That's Faithfulness!
'Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me' = That's Discipline!
'Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies' = That's Hope!
'Thou annointest my head with oil' = That's Consecration!
'My cup runneth over' = That's Abundance!
'Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life' = That's Blessing !
'And I will dwell in the house of the Lord' = That's Security!
'Forever' = That's Eternity!
Face it, the Lord is crazy about you.
It's not what we have in our lives, but WHO we have in our lives!
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet.
2 Chronicles 13:12
Follow the Leader
Who or what are you following today? In other words, who or what has the most influence in your life and on the decisions you make? Do you make choices based on what the television news says, or what someone in your family says? Now it’s not wrong to get other people’s advice, but what you allow to influence you becomes your leader. When you choose to make God your leader by following His commands, you are making a declaration with your actions that God is your leader! When you go forth in God, following Him as your leader, nothing can stand in your way! God has promised again and again that He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is a good leader and you will never be alone when you’re serving Him! In the Old Testament, the people would not go into battle without knowing that God was with them. They knew that they would surely fail if they went into battle alone. Is there an area in your life that you need direction? Follow your Leader. Is there a decision you need to make today? Follow your Leader. As you submit yourself to Him, He will lead you down paths of righteousness and peace. He will lead you into victory in every area of your life!
A Prayer for Today:
God, thank You for going with me and leading me into victory day by day. Thank You that this victory can start today as I constantly rely on You. I repent today of following any other voice and submit myself to you in everything I do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
- Today's Word from Joel and Victoria Osteen
