I will remember God’s blessings and give thanks. When walking with Him on the narrow path through life, God leads, and I follow.
Remembering God’s blessings builds trust in Him. As we submit to God, we let Him lead us rather than ourselves, somebody else, or the world. Thank you, God, for not leaving us on our own. For God leads, and we follow.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
Proverbs 3:5-6
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
I seek His face, and He shows me He is with me – here – right now – in real-time. Hence, caring for me and orchestrating my whole life. He picks me up when I am down. And He helps me to be like Him to myself and others. Furthermore, to be kind, gentle, and patient. Also, to live correctly with strength and with His marvelous judgment. So that I don’t run wild and head into destruction. God leads, and I follow.
So, I will trust you, God, with all of my heart, lean not on my understanding, acknowledge you in all my ways, and you straighten my path. God leads, and I follow.
The world’s temptations, pressures, delight, and sensations tempt my flesh and carnal nature. But God leads, and I follow.

He Shows the Way –
God shows us the way to walk as He walks. Now leading us through the narrow path in this fallen, distracting, crazy dark tipsy turvy lovely, beautiful sensational world we live in. God leads, and we follow.

Without God, our life and anchor, we will stumble, fall off cliffs, and into darkness and vast lostness. Likewise, we wash away out into the sea and drown. We would be lost, but we are not because we are with God under His light, cloud, and shield. Yes, under His protection, guidance, correction, and instruction. Because God leads, we follow.
The fallen world’s boundaries are ever-changing, so indulging and abusing my blessings and goodness is easy. Rather we share God’s providence and blessings with others. To share, to overspill, to belong, to connect, to be. For God leads, and we follow.
A call to worship the LORD.
Because God leads, because we follow, we walk rightly with Him. Our hearts sing and shout, giving thanks to our LORD.

Oh, give thanks to the LORD!
Psalm 105:1-3
Call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples!
Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
Talk of all His wondrous works!
Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD!
Oh, give thanks to the LORD! This is our call to worship. Therefore, I am going to give thanks to the Lord. Oh, thank you, Father, for your love, tender kindness, and mercies new each day. Blessings and lessons with surmounted guidance and protection.
Call upon His name – I call upon your name Holy Father, Yahweh– our God! You alone deserve our praise; you alone are the one we can trust.
Make known His deeds among the people! I tell of God’s wonderous works and faithfulness in my life. All that God does for my family, friends, and online community. God’s deeds and greatness in His saints’ lives yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him – I sing new songs to our Father. When my heart sings, my whole body and soul sing. As I wake in the morning, I sing praise and glorify God. I sing new songs. Then shouting out, singing in the shower, and singing all over the house. Also, I sing and talk of God’s wondrous and marvelous deeds.
Glory in His holy name – While others find glory in the world, I see glory in His holy name.
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD! I Wake in the morning, seeking God throughout the day, seeking at night. And I thank Him, rejoice, and He gives me joy, peace, instruction, love, care, and everything. And it is so wonderful. Thank you, Oh Jehovah Adonai.
I thank Him, rejoice, and He gives me joy, peace, instruction, love, care, and everything. And it is so wonderful. Thank you, Oh Jehovah Adonai. via @deborahrutherford #Rejoice #Gratitude #Joy

Love this beautiful encouragement! Such a powerful reminder to trust the Lord and follow Him whereever He leads us!
Hadassah, thank you. It is so important to trust and follow. We are blessed that He leads dear friend?
I love the simplicity of this – and yet it is so powerful! Thanks for the way you point us to truth, dear friend! I will be coming back to soak in these words later today!
Stacey, simple is what God has been showing me. Child-like? thank you for blessing me with your kind words dear friend.
This is so beautiful Deborah!!! I love how your heart comes through in your writing. Blessings to you and yours, have a great weekend! ??
Donna, thank you for your words of encouragement. Blessed is God who gives me words to write and who has my heart. Have a blessed weekend too.
Love your thoughts here, Deborah, and so beautifully expressed. My heart’s desire is to follow where God leads, though at times that means a rough path. But He always, always, leads us in the best way according to His unfailing love.
Donna, thank you. I understand the rough path but also know that any other path leads to destruction. I am so blessed to walk this path with you friend.
Deborah, this was such an encouragement to read this morning. It’s been a few days of leaning in and following the Lord as He guides. Even in the unknown, He has shown Himself, “And I thank Him, rejoice, and He given me joy, peace, instruction, love, care, and everything.” Beautiful post and thank you for sharing it with me!
Joanne, I am happy it encourages you. Our Godnis so faithful and is alwaysbtherenforniw.
