Led by God

“For those who are LED by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” Romans 8:14

God calls us to be LED by His Spirit, but it’s not an easy thing to wrap our minds around. Here’s an acrostic tool to help:

L – Look for His Mercies

“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23

Every morning God’s limitless love and faithfulness are fresh and waiting. His plan is not for you to be “consumed” by anything today. Be intentional and thank Him for His love and faithfulness as you begin the day.

“It is good to proclaim Your unfailing love in the morning, Your faithfulness in the evening” Psalm 92:2

Sandwich your day between declaring His love over you in the morning and in the evening thanking Him for His faithful care.

E – Encourage Daily

“But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” Hebrews 3:13

All of us can be deceived by the lie, “You are all alone”. Especially at times of loss or crisis or difficulty. Our hearts can begin to harden and we need the daily encouragement of our Lord and each other as we share the journey of life. You are not alone.

D – Declare Thanksgiving

“He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God.” Psalm 50:23

Thanksgiving is a doorway that actually opens the way for God to amaze us and bring His plans and purposes to pass. It prepares the way for God to come into our lives and our circumstances. WOW!
