Brought out to be led in

[The LORD] brought us from there in order to lead us in… (Deuteronomy 6:23)

I was just meditating on those words this morning.

Just as God brought the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, God has brought us out of slavery to sin in Satan’s kingdom.

But God doesn’t want us to just wander around out on our own. He wants to lead us into his own kingdom so we can find true life and peace with him.

But for that to happen, we need to leave Egypt behind.

In other words, we need to leave our old thoughts and patterns of life behind. We need to embrace God’s way of thinking, letting it touch our heads, hearts, and hands. (Deuteronomy 6:6, 8)

So today, I’ve been thinking about the old patterns I need to let go of and the new ones I need to embrace.

What is God speaking to your heart about?

He brought us out.

Now let’s allow him to lead us into new life.
