Lead Follower

 Scripture:

“So you see, God is with us. He is our leader. His priests blow their trumpets and lead us into battle against you. O people of Israel, do not fight against the Lord, the God of your ancestors, for you will not succeed!”” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭13‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Abijah understood having a covenant with God and doing things God’s way. He knew he had followed his part of the covenant, therefore he fully expected God to fulfill His end of the covenant. He knew his enemy wasn’t fully following God. He understood that God was with them and was their leader.

Application:

When God is your leader, you cannot lose. When we lead and do whatever we want, we are using our own strength. I would rather have God’s strength when battles arise. I would rather have Him fight my battles than me. We often go to “leadership’ conferences, but maybe we need to go to followership conferences learning to let God be our leader instead of ourselves. As for me, I want God to lead and myself to follow. I want to be the lead follower.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to follow You well and to let You lead my life. Guide me and direct my path. Show me how to serve You well and let my heart be pure. Show me Your ways and teach me to follow You completely. Lead my life. Lead my family. Lead Your church. Lead on King Jesus!

Forever Yours,
