“But He overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, for His
lovingkindness is everlasting.  To Him
who led His people through the wilderness, for His lovingkindness is
everlasting;” (Psalm 136:15-16)

What is the Lord doing?  Look at what the Lord has promised and the
things He has done to lead His people out of bondage and into freedom.  Kings and principalities cannot overcome what
the Lord is doing.  Follow the Lord and
You will follow the way of life.  Come
into the Lord’s presence and You will see the goodness of His purpose and
presence.  Come into the eternal love of
the Lord.

Lord, help me see that only in You is there a future.  Guide me according to Your goodness to know
that in following You, no matter the circumstances, I am following in the way
of life.  Lead me, O Lord, according to
Your purpose that I would walk in the eternal ways.  Lead me in the way of righteousness that I
may practice what is right and good. 
Always lead me, O Lord, away from bondage to sin.

Lord Jesus, You have come to set
the captive free.  Lead me, O Lord, this
day in the way You know I need to go. 
Guide me according to Your goodness to live into the life to which I
have been called.  Lord, You know what it
is to walk this world which is constantly trying to ensnare us into its
traps.  Free me and teach me that I may
learn to walk with You in all of Your ways. 
Amen.
