Following God

When I first hear that David was a man after God’s own heart, it challenged me to want to live that way. As I’ve looked at his life trying to determine what that might be, one of the strongest characteristics I’ve seen is that He wanted to follow where God led. Most of us, like Saul, have our own ideas and agenda of where we should go so we quit following and start leading. We do see that with David or other great people in the Bible. They were all willing to follow God. Moses said he wouldn’t go anywhere without God’s presence leading him. The ones who followed God closely aligned themselves with His desires. Are you following where God is leading or trying to go your own way and asking Him to follow you?

Here are some Psalms about following God:

1. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.

Psalms 63:8 NKJV

2. You are faithful to all those who follow your ways and keep your word.

Psalms 103:18 TPT

3. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

John 10:27 NLT

4. I will follow his commands and I’ll not sin by ceasing to follow him, no matter what.

Psalms 18:21 TPT

5. Lord, I have so many enemies! Lead me to do your will; make your way plain for me to follow.

Psalm 5:8 GNT
