Who Goes First Determines If You Get Lost


In the Book of Joshua, the LORD comes to him and gives him instructions about how to take the people of Israel over the Jordan.  He tells Joshua, He will go before them, and for them to follow about a half mile behind, and to be careful not to get in front of Him.  The LORD further explains they have not been this way before.  They wanted to get to the Promised Land, but did not know the direction.

We sometimes want to get somewhere we have not been before.  We know we want to get to the ‘Promised Land”, but we don’t know the way.  In our excitement and over zealous desire to get there, we rush ahead of Him and go before Him.  This is when we find ourselves lost, and wondering where He is.  But is it not He who is lost, but rather we.

Today take time to put Him first in all you do.  From business to family, friends to spending habits, ask the LORD, is this the way, shall I walk in it?  Watch and see how He will lead you, if you just let Him.  It’s better than getting lost
