Bible verses about following God’s leading

Greetings, brothers and sisters in Christ! 

We trust that you are drawing closer to God each day. 

We have put together another new video for you today that we hope will shed some light on a topic that is important for us as believers. 

The video is called “Do Our Prayers Miss The Mark?“. 

In this video we teach about the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us when praying for others. 

Please click here to watch the video now.

We love you all. 

Enjoy the rest of your day. 

Sincerely,

Genesis 15:1 (NKJV) 1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

I just adore this word to Abram from the Lord.

Not only does He tell Abram “do not be afraid”, He explains why. Because He is His shield!

We need to know what a shield is before we can grasp all of what He is telling Abram.

A shield is a broad piece of defensive armor carried on the arm to protect against attacks. A shield of any type protects, covers, and defends from harm.

What is He telling Abram? I will protect you, I will cover you, and I will defend you from attacks and harm.

He goes on to say, “I am your exceedingly great reward”!

Can we say based on this that Abram had strong faith and was truly blessed as He obeyed God and what He asked of him to do?

Where do we stand today?

If God asked us to do something beyond our intellectual understanding, would we step out and trust Him?

Most times we don’t know until it happens; when the moment comes and we know without a doubt what He is asking us.

And though we may not know the timing in advance, we can be ready by staying close to Him at all times.

Let our faith be strong enough to obey, that we might see the wonders of God in our life today!

Amen.

Isaiah 6:8 (NKJV) 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

God is awesome! He has a way of reaching us right where we are.

That night so long ago that God touched our lips, we were in a sound sleep. It was His touch that woke us both at the very same time.

We did not say, here we are God, send us. It was more like, He touched us and we just followed His lead each day.

We had no idea what God had in store for us. We just took one step at a time as He led us.

We knew that He did something that night, although we didn’t fully understand it. But in our hearts we were willing and ready.

And over time, He unfolded it.

God is careful to speak to our hearts individually and in the way we can understand Him.

Don’t be afraid of Him. He knows us better than we know ourselves.

He doesn’t choose us because of what we know. He chooses us most times because He knows our hearts, whether we are willing to obey Him.

It’s so important to keep ourselves ready and available. We do this simply by drawing near to Him.

And by doing so, He will prepare us. We will know and be ready in our hearts for whatever it may be that God is calling us to do. He is faithful!

2 Timothy 4:2 (NKJV) 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

Amen.

Psalm 1:3 (NKJV) 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

Since moving to the South, I’ve been trying to figure out where to put certain plants in my yard.

As you may know, some plants need sun, some plants need shade, some plants need a mixture. If I don’t get them in the right place, they will wither up and die or just not produce flowers.

I have been moving them from one place to the other to get those blossoms to pop. It’s been going on now for Almost 5 years. I believe I have finally gotten them all in the right place! Praise God!

As I transplanted them and they began to blossom, what a beautiful feeling! It’s very rewarding finding the place where they will thrive the most.

It reminds me of our walk with God.

We can be anywhere we want to be, but will we thrive there? Is it meant for us to be just anywhere?

My prayer today is for us all to be planted right where we are going to thrive and blossom, just like the flowers in my garden.

How do we find that “just right” place?

We let our Gardener, God, plant us, move us, keep us, and place us. When we are thriving, we will know it!

I lived most of my life in RI. He has since moved me to NC!

I feel like I am planted right by the rivers of water, and my fruit shall be produced in its season! Glory be to God!

Where are you planted?

It could be the church you go to. It could be the state or province you live in. It could be at your job, another country, etc.

You may feel like you are not producing, but withering up.

God is our Gardener. Ask Him to plant you where you need to be, where you will produce beautiful blossoms in your season.

John 15:1 (NIV) 1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

Maybe you are right where you need to be. Open up and let the fruit come!

Let His Majesty be seen through your fruit!

Amen.

Psalm 4:1 (NKJV) 1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

Are we praying and asking God to do things the way we have seen them done before?

Are we getting our answer? Or do we keep having to ask over and over again, and nothing is happening?

Maybe it’s time we stop telling God how to bring in our answer and ask God to bring the answer in the way He would like to, and in His timing.

If we want God’s will to be done in our situation, we must let Him answer us in the way He knows is best.

Trust Him in this.

I’ve learned that most times when we pray, we ask God to answer us in the way that we’ve seen Him answer in the past.

But God doesn’t always do things the same way. He is Creative!!

Give Him the freedom to answer our prayers the way He chooses. We will be astonished!

Amen.
