Going Where God Leads

Ex 13:21-22

21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.
22 He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people.
NKJV

Neh 9:19

19 Yet in Your manifold mercies You did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day, to lead them on the road; nor the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way they should go.
NKJV

Rom 8:14

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
KJV

My Comments:

When the Israelites came out of Egypt, the Lord led them through the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. The key point here is this: where He went, they followed. Likewise under the New Covenant; as we have the Holy Spirit with us and in us, how much more we should follow the leadings of God when we hear Him speak!

I don't want to be stuck in the past and find myself doing some mindless routine that's going on forever! I want to follow where God says to go! With Him, it's never dry, boring, dead!

To add some words of caution here, I am not telling you to do things that are clearly outside the Bible. Because God will not lead you into doing things that are clearly against what He says! But at times, He may be calling you to come out of a certain place or a certain thing that you've got yourself entangled in. Just stay close to Him, and when He gives you something to go with, act on it! It's a joy to find yourself in the will of God, fulfilling His plan, His purpose for your life!
