He leadeth me, O blessed thought!

Real Dudes,
As followers of Christ we have the opportunity and privilege to have the Lord lead us. Maybe lately some of you haven’t been sensing or desiring His leading. Maybe to some it hasn’t been a blessed thought. I encourage each of us to take some time reading through the verses from the Psalms below and then really listening to the lyrics in the hymn/songs when you’re done. I’d personally never heard the song Spirit Lead Me before, but it is a good one. Hope you enjoy your quiet time alone with the Lord and come away from it with the renewed mindset of “O blessed thought…A Faithful Follower I will be! as you allow Him to lead you from here on out.”
Self-examination question…What area(s) of your life are you not allowing the Lord to lead you in? Work? Family? Lifestyle choices? Purchases? Finances? Spiritual growth? Physical wellbeing? Confess, repent, and act accordingly. Trust me…He desires to be your Shepherd and lead you each and every day. Will you allow Him to do so?
Practicing His Presence,
Nate

If you’re stuck and don’t know how to pray this morning…then these Psalms also make for amazing prayer guides. Just because David / the Psalmist used them doesn’t mean that you can’t. Give them a try and see what happens. Surely the Spirit will bring something to surface that you can deal with.

Psalm 5:8 Lead me in the right path, O Lord, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.
Psalm 23:2 He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.
Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
Psalm 25:5 Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
Psalm 27:11 Teach me how to live, O Lord. Lead me along the right path, for my enemies are waiting for me.
Psalm 31:3 You are my rock and my fortress. For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.
Psalm 43:3 Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live.
Psalm 61:2 From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety,
Psalm 73:24 You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.
Psalm 139:24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
Psalm 143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing.

Hymn: He Leadeth Me (Official Lyric Video)
  1. He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
    O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
    Whate’er I do, where’er I be
    Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
    • Refrain:
      He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
      By His own hand He leadeth me;
      His faithful foll’wer I would be,
      For by His hand He leadeth me.
  2. Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
    Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
    By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
    Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
  3. Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
    Nor ever murmur nor repine;
    Content, whatever lot I see,
    Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.
  4. And when my task on earth is done,
    When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
    E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
    Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
