God’s Leading

All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go

Joshua 1:16
And they answered Joshua, “All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you, as he was with Moses! Whoever rebels against your commandment and disobeys your words, whatever you command him, shall be put to death. Only be  strong and courageous

Numbers 27:20
You shall invest him with some of your authority, that all the congregation of the people of Israel may obey.

Numbers 32:25
And the people of Gad and the people of Reuben said to Moses, “Your servants will do as my lord commands. Our little ones, our wives, our livestock, and all our cattle shall remain there in the cities of Gilead, but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord orders

Deuteronomy 1:31
you have seen how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way that you went until you came to this place. ’ Yet in spite of this word you did not believe the Lord your God

 

It is important to note that Joshua was commanding people on entering the promised land.  He was confirming to them that God was in Control, what the plan was, and they all agreed to follow God’s plan as He instructed Joshua.  On top of this they agreed to put to death anyone who did not follow this leading.  This is a big commitment.  There are times in our lives where we will have battle (emotional, health, personal, family, children, financial and much more).  So how are we to face these battles with confidence, strength, and commitment?  I think it starts with a heart desire to know God more and more each day and continually growing, to commit to  hearing that quiet small voice leading and(OBEY IT), to trust God’s plan for this journey through life, to trust God’s plan is perfect for you, to rely on God and cling to His strength for any battle we are facing.  Start with a deep hearts desire, commit and trust, take peace in His plan, and rest on His promises.  He can do more than we ask and much more than we can imagine.  Do not limit God’s leading in your life.
