Rise Up Leaders

God has given to us the ability to reveal Him to those around us. Those that undertake this task are out in front of those with whom they share the good news that God is on their side are leaders. We are all called to lead. It begins with us, then our families, then those around us. Leaders lead. And to what do we lead them? To the truth. God is for us, not against us. He has a way for us to go, a path for us to travel. But everyone gets to choose. How shall we lead them? Joshua had the best input in this regard.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

How then did Joshua lead? He said that he and his house would serve Yahuah (Lord). He and his family lead by example. He showed others the path by having his house walk down the path themselves. Others could observe the path they traveled and then choose the same path or not. Example is the way to lead others to the light of the Messiah.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King and there is none beside You. Bless the name Yahuah! Send us now Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal our hearts and minds. Help us to return always to Your path. Deliver us from the thief that steals and destroys, and from those that follow his path. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundredfold. We ask these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
