Our Lord is Before Us

Scripture Judges 4:14 Then Deborah said to Barak, “Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

Observation: We forget sometimes that God already knows what is before us because He has already been there. He knows what we are going to come up against and He knows how we are going to react. He tells us if we would trust in Him He would guide us and make a path before us. There is nothing we will go through that will surprise our Lord and no matter what trials we might be going through God has gone out before us to make a way, but we must follow Him and stay on the course He has placed us on.

Application: I need to stop worrying so much about everything. My anxiety is a sign that I don’t trust God who has been trustworthy all of my life. I need to be more focused on what God desires of me and less time spent on thinking and worrying about each situation. If I’m focused on God’s will for each situation I will be able to see more clearly what he desires in each situation and see Him before me so that I may follow closely.

Prayer: My Lord thank you for loving me so much. Thank you that you clear the way for me to bear fruit and to follow the plans you have made for me. May I stay close to you and be right behind you. Help me with my belief and give me the wisdom I will need to follow you with all of my heart.
