Just Follow My (Jesus) Lead

After back-to-back migraine attacks this week, I was laying in bed the other morning having some anxious thoughts. Migraines really mess up hormones and bring on anxiety, depression, frustration, hopelessness, etc. That was when the Lord gently said to me, “All you ever have to do is follow My lead in your life. Don’t get worked up about goals, dreams, the future, etc. Just follow My lead and you’ll have My peace that passes understanding.”

This brought me such comfort and joy. This is just what Jesus did with His Father when Jesus was on earth. Jesus could have been tempted with this world, He must have thought about the cross He’d face. But He always sought out His Father to find out what the Father wanted Him to do each day. His own Father led Him each day. That’s all the Father asked of Jesus. That’s all He asks of us.

And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
Isaiah 30:21

My (Jesus) sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
John 10:27

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Psalm 91:1-2

“For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace;
Isaiah 55:12a

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts
Colossians 3:15a

God Is “Here.”

Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother (Lazarus) would not have died.
John 11:21 NLT

Lord, if only You had been here…

Wow, all the times I’ve thought those words. And, all the time, He was “here.”

God bless,

Mark
