The Peculiar Leading of the Lord

When God has determined to move powerfully among His people, He usually employs methods that we ourselves would not choose. One of the great needs among Jesus-followers is to trust that God is always moving in multiple layers on our behalf. When He does not take us forward on the quickest, least complicated pathway, we need to train our instincts to consider the big picture. Truth be known, God’s leadership often seems peculiar to us while it is playing out in real time. Those who slow down, commit to faithfully fulfill their duties in following Him, and wait on His timing experience the most powerful moves of Heaven. Those who give in to impatience, fear, or self-reliance always come up short of experiencing what God desires to work on their behalf. This message shows us what this following of the Lord’s peculiar leadership looks like.
