-Forty Nine- Follow The Leader

Follow the Leader

Today’s Reading: Psalm 33
Focal Verse: Psalm 33:b
The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD…


Do you love your neighbor? Do you care what happens to them? Do you even know their names?

So much of our lives today are centered on ourselves, or our families. We have very little concern for fellow believers, much less the lost. But is that the pattern God set for us?

Psalm 33 reminds us that the earth is full of His goodness (see also Psalm 104). It isn’t here just for His children, but for all the inhabitants of the earth.

Psalm 145:15-16 speaks of His provision for living creatures:

The eyes of all look expectantly to You,
And You give them their food in due season.
You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.
Matthew 5:44-45 reminds us to do good even to our enemies: “…for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust”.

God cares enough about everyone He has created to give them some common grace. I think it is time we follow our Leader.

Read Luke 6:35. Ask God to show You those people in the world that He wants you to show grace to.
