Following God’s lead

At the Lord’s command the Israelites set out, and at the Lord’s command they camped.

As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they camped. (Numbers 9:18)

This was my prayer this morning.

Lord, help me to have a heart that always follows your lead.

It’s easy sometimes to get comfortable. And so when you start out in a new direction, I sometimes hesitate to follow.

Other times, I have all these plans and get tired of waiting. I want to do something now. And yet you’re telling me, “Not yet. Rest. Enjoy my presence. Seek my face. And wait for my timing.”

So Lord, let me not go ahead you, nor let me linger behind you.

Rather each day, let me keep in step with you, going when you go, stopping when you stop.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
