“So, when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.” [2]
The Lord led the Israelites by a cloud through the wilderness. See Numbers 9 for more details. The same Lord, we call Him Jesus, leads us His followers today. As He led the Israelites in the wilderness, as He led His disciples in the Gospels, so He leads us who follow Him by His Word and His indwelling Holy Spirit. The setting and the circumstances change from time to time, but His presence, His love and His blessings remain constant and steady.
The kingdom of God is about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. The journey has twists and turns, but the faith, hope and love that He gives us remains the same. [3]
When I consider what the Lord Jesus is doing for me, and for His other followers, I want to praise Him and say, “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” [4]
