FOLLOWING GOD’S LEAD

This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow.”  – Isaiah 48:17 New Living Translation
     The Jewish people of the Old Testament were a “stiff necked and rebellious” people. So said Stephen in his sermon just prior to his being stoned to death in Acts 7:51-53 by the very Jewish leaders to which he spoke. It is not good enough to merely sacrifice without obedience as the Jews had done down thru the ages. This is a worthless endeavor. It is in our following the directives of God that we find peace and righteousness.
      When it comes to God, you are either all in or all out. There is no middle ground.  It is useless to say you believe in God if you don’t allow that belief to change your life. The change I am speaking of is not orchestrated by you, but by your willingness to submit to the leadership of Almighty God. He created you and knows you better than you could ever know yourself. He wishes to teach you what is good for you, yet you resist, wanting instead to handle things for yourself.
     No navigational device can help you choose the right path to take without the help of the Holy Spirit who resides within every believer. Don’t be so stubborn that you feel you know all about what you are to do, because things change so rapidly in this life that you can’t possibly know without the Lord’s guidance. Rely on his Spirit and not on your own intuitive nature; that is a recipe for disaster. Study his word, for within its pages is absolute and eternal truth. Be God’s hand extended and trust him to lead you like a light thru this dark, sin-riddled world. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
