Follow God’s Lead
Have you ever watched a well-trained dog walk with its master? On or off a leash, the dog will slow or quicken its pace, turn left or right, or immediately stop at the soft command of his master’s voice.
Such isn’t the case with my pooch. Either he’s straining ahead or lagging behind, darting after a bird or stubbornly lingering over an interesting scent. He isn’t content to follow my lead.
Sometimes that latter scene resembles my own walk with God. At times, I rush ahead or lag behind, veer to the right or stumble to the left, oblivious of my Master’s pace and direction. How much better to walk closely with God and let him lead!
“O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and steadfast love for your servants who walk before you with all their heart” (1 Kings 8:23 NRSV)
Thanks for attending First Christian today, please come again!
