Leading the Charge

In Joshua, I have learned how to lead or really how to be led. God was working in Joshua to be a man who was solely dependent upon hearing from God on what the next step. So many times in my own life, I have relied on “common sense”. Sometimes we get what we ask for a common life rather than a life that is lead supernaturally by a loving God who directs each step. One the deepest echo’s of my heart is a song by Glenn Packiam, It is called “my Hope“ the lyrics say:
”When my heart is overwhelmed
Lead me to the Rock that’s higher
When My feet are sinking down
Lift me up to walk on water
I will be still and know
You are my father
My eyes will be fixed on You alone
        I put my hope in You
        There’s nothing else to do
        Through every valley I know You’re by my side
        My life is in Your Hands.

Sometimes we get weighed down by all that life’s circumstances can throw at us. Whether it be a co-worker whose attitude is negative to a spouse telling you that they have had affair. Whatever the case, we were never called to understand but called to be obedient! True understanding comes only from obedience to what God calls you to do! Let us learn to be led and dependent upon our God and savior so much that we always seek Him first above all! Our lives are in your hands O God

Such an inspiring word. Just today I had to stop and ask The Lord to give me His eyes, and to stop seeing just with my thoughts or emotions!! Thanks for sharing...ang
