This morning I was in prayer and praying for God to lead me as I write these devotionals. When I stopped praying, I felt as though that was going to be this devotional. I got started on it, then had to finish it when we got home from church. Coincidentally we have been in a series that was much about David called Epic Fail. David was a man who failed on biblical proportions, but yet he also was a leader in repentance of those sins. Repentance is key to hearing God’s voice and knowing how to handle the things we face every day. I pray that you will seek God every day, and let Him lead you along in the life He has planned for you.

Lead Me

Pslam 25:5    Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

As I researched “lead me” it came up 14 times in scripture. Twelve of those 14 were from the Psalms where David was pouring his heart out to God. The story of David is an incredible one of God’s Mercy and Grace to forgive David’s great sins. “We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23. We cannot do this thing called life alone. We will fall short of what God has in store for us if we try to rely on ourselves, or anyone else’s plans or programs that are on every infomercial.

I love James McDonald’s ministry title – Walk in the Word. Knowing whether to turn to the right or the left, let me know thy way. Once you begin to truly seek God every day, you will begin to hear that small voice inside you leading you in the every day doldrums of life. We are designed to abide in Him, to walk with Him, we must humble ourselves and truly seek Him…first.
