Follow the Leader

God is with us; He is our leader"
(2 Chronicles 13:12, TLB).

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.
