Trust and Follow

Trust and Follow

In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling. Exodus 15:13 NIV

Where God leads, we must follow. We will all be lead to still waters and pastures of plenty. And the Lord will also lead us to the valley where many wither away from the faith. But none the less, where the Lord leads, we must always follow.

If we go with the Lord, even when He leads us into the wilderness, we are always in a good place because we are with Him. And even when we fall victim to death, He has promised to be there too, protecting us from the second death by the blood of Christ.

God gives us His Holy Spirit so that we have the ability to follow His lead. Not only that, but with the indwelling of the Spirit we have the right to come to God and the uncanny ability to look like Christ in this world. With the Spirit, we convey a life-witness to the world that draws others to Christ. The crowning realization of all who follow and trust the Lord is that someone will find God by experiencing our testimony of the Father. We trust and follow God for our own redemption, but we also do it with the hope of leading others to the same hope we have in Christ.
