Follow The Leader (Part 1)
"Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children..." ~ Ephesians 5:1
Most believers' relationship with God is as follows:
We make decisions - based on our own feelings, thoughts, emotions, experiences, opinions, etc. - and characterize it as God's will. Or we make decisions and then ask God to bless it.
The Bible, however, tells us that we ought to be FOLLOWERS of God. In other words, He should be making the decisions, not us. Things should START (and end) with Him, not the other way around.
More to come in the days ahead.
God bless,
J.W.
