"...what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all of His ways, to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord's commands and decrees...for your own good?" Deuteronomy 10: 12-13.
I was reading this scripture in my daily devotion today. I believe that this scripture can be summed up in 4 words--1) Live, 2) Love, 3) Serve and 4) LEAD! If we could ever really totally comprehend the love of God, the sacrifice of Christ, and the total encompassing guidance of the Holy Spirit; then we would not only know and understand what God ask of us, but we would also completely submit to a life of obedience to what God ask of us.
You see God ask of us for our own good. He desires that we live a life of abundance while learning to fear God (and only God) and walking in all of His ways because His ways are higher than our ways. He wants us to know and accept His totally unconditional love so that we can love Him in return and also love other humans in a way that is unknown to this world. He also longs for us to wholeheartedly serve Him and other humans in a way that is unconventional and irrational to the standards of this world.
And while this uncommon, heart changing personification of Christ is occurring in our lives, God uses our foolhardy humanity to simply and passionately LEAD others to...
...live, love, serve and LEAD!
So...lead on...
