Word for the day “Trusting God to lead you”

Psalm 5:8 (BSB) Lead me, O LORD, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.

Dear leaders,

In this season of my life, I’ve discovered more than any other time, that God will lead me, especially when I don’t know which way to go. 

I’M LEARNING TO TRUST GOD TO LEAD MY LIFE.

God will bless us beyond the limitations of our fears, and God's love for us is endless. In fact, we here at Grace and Truth Leadership believe the Lord is just that kind of God. In this painful time where almost anything goes, we need to be anchored to the standards and values of the Lord. I’m holding on to the Lord, with everything I have. How are you doing?

MY HEART SENTIMENTS ARE THE WORDS OF THE HYMNAL “WHERE HE LEADS ME”:

I can hear my Savior calling,

"Take thy cross and follow, follow Me."

Where He leads me, I will follow,

I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

I’ll go with Him through the waters,

I'll go with Him through the garden,

 I’ll go with Him to dark Calvary,

 He will give me grace and glory,

I'll go with Him, with Him all the way”.

 If you have ever felt God's love save you from the depths of despair, then you know God's power is real.  You know God's power is true. So, as a result of God’s power being real, I’ve decided to follow Him where he leads me. I must confess I don’t have this figured out, nor do I believe God is looking for people who can figure His majesty out.

I believe the Lord just wants us to trust and turn our lives over to His care.

  POINT TO PONDER

5 ways to follow the Lord honorably:

• Be in prayer. A way to know that you are following God’s plan for your life is by being in prayer. Take time each day to devote yourself to the Lord and the plans He has for your life.

• Be actively reading in the Word. It is one thing to go to church on Sunday and hear the pastor’s sermon and quite another when you take time each day to devote to being in God’s word.

• Follow the commands He puts on your heart. Allow God to guide your steps and trust the dreams He puts on your heart. Believe that He will qualify you and know that if there is a dream that He has placed upon your heart, He will help you achieve it, and He will be glorified in the process.

• Seek godly relationships. It’s a lot easier to follow God’s plans and act in ways that honor him.

• Trust the process you are in your life at this time. When you can’t trace the Lord’s hand, trust His heart for your life.
