Yield to God's Leading and Guidance

Preface

               But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he

               has taught rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the

               land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slavery, to make you 

               leave the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you 

               shall purge the evil from your midst. Deuteronomy 13:5 ESV

               There is a way that seems right to a man,

               but its end is the way to death. Proverbs 16:25 ESV

One has to choose between God and man including himself, who to lead and guide him through life.

God is with men in every generation. For He is from everlasting to everlasting. He is not seen but chose to be seen through the man Jesus. In the end, God has left mankind His Word [which is about Jesus, too] to lead them where His eternal plan and purposes need and want them to be. 

In contrast, we have different men in every generation that lead and guide their own and current milieu. Past histories of men of every age until today show much to be desired of the conditions of men. For humanity has degenerated much in every way - physically, socially, mentally and especially spiritually.

God Loves and Wills to Lead
And Guide His People to a
Victorious Life

Joshua 3:1-17 ESV

Then Joshua rose early in the morning and they set out from Shittim. And they came to the Jordan, he and all the people of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. At the end of three days the officers went through the camp and commanded the people, “As soon as you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God being carried by the Levitical priests, then you shall set out from your place and follow it. Yet there shall be a distance between you and it, about 2,000 cubits in length. Do not come near it, in order that you may know the way you shall go, for you have not passed this way before.” Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” And Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on before the people.” So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. And as for you, command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, ‘When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’” And Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come here and listen to the words of theLord your God.” And Joshua said, “Here is how you shall know that the living God is among you and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites. Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is passing over before you into the Jordan. Now therefore take twelve men from the tribes of Israel, from each tribe a man. And when the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall stand in one heap.” Continue reading...verses 14-17
