Led by the Lord

 Joshua 3-6; 1 Corinthians 4 

“…When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests…carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before…See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you.”

Joshua 3:3, 4, 11

What does it mean to be led by the presence of the Lord?

First, we must recognize God’s presence. Second, we must submit to God’s presence and ways. Third, we must be willing to be led by God’s presence and Holy Spirit. Fourth, we must leave behind that which is known for the walk of faith which is into the unknown. 

The Israelites followed the ark into the flooded Jordan River valley and were amazed that God’s presence made a path of dry ground through the center of the flooded river. The Lord has solutions to our problems and obstacles today which we may never have considered, nor would be possible without his presence and power.

Will we recognize, submit, be led by faith, and leave all behind in order to stay in step with his Spirit?

The nations are watching our journey of faith.

“Lord Jesus, lead me by your Spirit, for your glory.”
