Needing His Leading

Bible in a Year:

• 2 Chronicles 15–16
• John 12:27–50

From the ends of the earth I call to you.

Psalm 61:2

Uncle Zaki was more than a friend to scholar Kenneth Bailey; he was his trusted guide on challenging excursions into the vast Sahara. By following Uncle Zaki, Bailey says that he and his team were demonstrating their complete trust in him. In essence, they were affirming, “We don’t know the way to where we are going, and if you get us lost we will all die. We have placed our total trust in your leadership.” 

In a time of great weariness and heartache, David looked beyond any human guide, seeking direction from the God he served. In Psalm 61:2 we read, “From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” He longed for the safety and relief of being ushered afresh into God’s presence (vv. 3–4).

God’s guidance in life is desperately needed for people the Scriptures describe as sheep that have “gone astray” (Isaiah 53:6). Left to ourselves, we would be hopelessly lost in the desert of a broken world.

But we are not left to ourselves! We have a Shepherd who leads us “beside quiet waters,” refreshes our souls, and guides us (Psalm 23:2–3).

Where do you need His leading today? Call on Him. He will never leave you. 

By:  Bill Crowder

Reflect & Pray

What was it like when you felt lost? How can you begin to trust God’s desire to guide you like a shepherd in those times of seeking?

Loving Father, thank You for being my Shepherd and Guide. Help me to trust You and rest in Your wisdom, allowing Your Spirit to guide me through the challenging moments of life.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro...hope your day has gone well. Still hot?

[PROCON]

Still hot but it has cooled down.

We had an unexpected T-storm roll through here last night with 65 mph winds and knock power out for awhile but today was nice.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Stay safe and stand strong!

And to you as well.

Very important words these days.

[lightman]

Aye...looks like we will be able to do a partial reopening of the church next weekend <25 in each space....might only need to maintain that limit for one week.

A VERY key ingredient to standing strong!
