He Leadeth Me
He Leadeth Me
When thou passest through the
waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow
thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither
shall the flame kindle upon thee.
(Isaiah 43:2)

All
of our pathways are not paved smoothly, nor are they lines with fragrant
flowers. In fact, sometimes the scenes
are very gloomy. Have you had a day
recently when everything seemed to go wrong?
Remember, He leads, not only in our trying experiences, but through
them.
Some
days are so very troublesome. We feel
tossed around though we were in turbulent waters. Other days prove to be clam, peaceful and
refreshing. But in either or both
situations, God’s wonderful hand still leads.
Job
witnessed the Lord’s leading through suffering.
God led Daniel through a den of vicious lions. The children of Israel were sent through deep
and treacherous waters. God led, not
only in, but through all of these situations.
The
Lord took John Bunyan through long years in the dreary prison cell and David
Livingstone through animal-infested jungles.
But He led.
The
situations you face may not be easy, but all are within God’s control. Like a fighting soldier who faces the stress
and strain of war, the commanding officer continues to lead on.
And
then finally, time runs out; our earthly walk and work are completed. Now, through “death’s cold wave” God leads
again, but this time He leads His faithful followers—home.

Higher Ground

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:14).
When a town or city is situated deep in a valley, its real beauty is not seen until we climb a
high hill and look out over the entire area.
This is said to be true of Bethlehem, the city where our Lord was born. It was this scene that inspired the
songwriter to pen the words, “O Little Town of Bethlehem.”

This is also somewhat true of the city where the Back to the
Bible Broadcast is located. Coming in
from almost any direction you must reach the top of a hill before you can really
see the city. Traveling at night
everything looks dark and drab until you reach the top of the slope. Then, and only then, the lights of the city
blaze out with a “welcome home” message.
They have been shining all evening, but they are not visible until you
reach higher ground.
Somewhat in this same manner God expects us to come out from
the valley situations of life, climb the highest peaks and reach mountaintop
experiences with Him. This does not mean
that we can go from the valley to the hill in one easy step. “New heights” are reached only after meeting
and conquering spiritual opposition. It
is only when we become discontented with the valley of doubts and fears and
desire to live above the world and its sin that we strive to reach the higher
ground. It is then that we near the
peak.
When we finally “scale the utmost heights,” We say with the songwriter: “Lord, plant my
feet on higher and higher ground until at last I reached my goal and my
heavenly reward.”

| Dr. Wiersbe & his Wife |
Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe
(the former General Director and Bible Teacher for Back to the Bible) has mined
the Psalms for their riches. He has
traced the thinking of godly men and followed them into greater depths of
understanding. He has devoted much of
his life to Bible study and meditation.
And now, in this devotional book he offers you nuggets of pure gold.
Prayer Praise
& Promises : A Daily Walk Through the Psalms is based on Dr. Wiersbe’s
radio ministry and his cassette series, Dyna Moments. His personal reflections and insights help
make each devotional fresh and relevant.
It’s a book that you’ll
want to savor one day at a time. Ponder
its truths and apply them to your life.
You’ll be the richer for it.
In the
foreword Dr. Woodrow Kroll, President
Back to the Bible Intl. wrote:

| Dr. Wood |
“The Psalms have
always held a special place in the affection of Israel. The people of God rejoiced and lamented
together by singing the Psalms. The
early Christians discovered the Psalms to be an integral link to their heritage
as well.
A psalm was the
expression of joy uttered by Augustine at his conversion, and a psalm was the
consolation on his lips as he lay upon
his death bed. Chrysostom comforted
himself in exile by quoting the Psalms.
John Hus had a psalm on his lips as he was burned at the stake Reciting
a psalm, Luther entered the Diet of Worms, prepared to defy the Church and
stand by faith alone.
But the Psalms
have meant much more to us than affection or motivation. They also have been a significant source of
inspiration. A. C. Gabelein used to say,
“A psalm a day keeps worry away.” Many
of us have found the Psalms to be an excellent source of comfort, of courage,
strength.
Strength and hope
for our spiritual journey is the goal of Warren Wiersbe in this daily
devotional on the Psalms, and he succeeds very well. Writing in his own
practical and interesting style, Dr. Wiersbe brings us to the banquet table and
serves a heaping portion of God’s blessing and strength through each
psalm. Every reader will be blessed but
more than that, every reader will be instructed, motivated, inspired and
challenged.
Here you will find
daily food in abundance—good food, tasty food, food to fuel your Christian
life. If a psalm a day does keep worry
away, who of us can afford to be without one?
This devotional good will ensure that your minimum daily Psalms requirement
is met. Bon appétit!

Preface To God’s Hymnal
Have you ever read
the preface to the hymnal used in your church?
Few people ever do. The preface
to God’s hymnal (the Book of Psalms) is Psalm 1. It begins with a word we often use—blessed. Nowhere does Scripture tell us that God
blesses programs or promotions. But it
does teach that He blesses individuals.
He blessed Abraham so he might be a blessing to others. And He blesses us so we might bless others.
What you delight
in is what will direct your life, so be careful what you enjoy. The blessed person delights in the Law of the
Lord (v.2). He delights so much in the
Word of God that he meditates on it during the day. Meditation is the soul what digestion is to
the body. It means assimilating the Word
of God.
The blessed person
is like a tree (v.3). A tree has
roots. The most important part of your
life is your “root system.” Don’t be
like the ungodly, who are like chaff (v.
4). Chaff doesn’t have roots. Don’t be like the ungodly, who are like chaff (v.4). Chaff doesn’t have roots. It is blown away by every wind that comes
along. Your root system is important
because it determines your nourishment.
It also determines your stability and your strength when the storm comes
and the wind starts to blow.
People can’t see
your root system, but God can. Praying
and meditating on the Word of God will cause your roots to go down deep into
His love.
God delights in
blessing His children. But we must prepare
ourselves for His blessings by first appropriating the resources He has given
us. Delight in the Word of God and feed
on it. But do more than, occasionally read the Word; meditate on it
constantly. Make it your source of
spiritual nourishment, and God will bless you with strength and stability.
