The Leading of the Lord
Deuteronomy 32:10 (NKJV)
10 “He found him in a desert land
And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He encircled him, He instructed him,
He kept him as the apple of His eye.
This is how the Lord leads
- He found him
- He fed him
- He instructed him
- He kept him
The Lord is Jehovah Rohi
A Picture
Deuteronomy 32:11 (NKJV)
11 As an eagle stirs up its nest,
Hovers over its young,
Spreading out its wings, taking them up,
Carrying them on its wings,
The eagle stirs up the nest
There will be seasons of stirring
A Promise
Deuteronomy 32:12 (NKJV)
12 So the Lord alone led him,
And there was no foreign god with him.
It’s the Lord leading
Assurance
The Purpose
Deuteronomy 32:13 (NKJV)
13“He made him ride in the heights of the earth,
That he might eat the produce of the fields;
He made him draw honey from the rock,
And oil from the flinty rock;
He wants to take us to the high places
The Lord is a great leader!
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Trust Him with all your heart
The Continuation of Communion
Psalms 103:1-2 (NKJV)
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Bless The Lord
Benefits the Lord provides:
- He forgives all our sins
- He heals all our diseases
- He redeems our life
- He crowns us with loving kindness
- Satisfies our mouth with good things
- Our youth is renewed like the eagle’s
We take communion so we don’t forget His benefits
