I was looking for something to read for staff worship this morning and was looking under the index in the back for the word 'teacher'. I found a passage in Deuteronomy 1:6-18. The really good part was the commentary by Ellen White in the bottom margin of my bible for this text. It says:
'The Lord God of heaven is our Leader. He is a leader whom we can safely follow; for He never makes a mistake. Let us honor God and His Son Jesus Christ, through whom He communicates with the world. It was Christ who gave to Moses the instruction that He gave to the children of Israel. It was Christ who delivered the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. Moses and Aaron were the visible leaders of the people. To Moses instruction was given by their invisible Leader, to be repeated to them. Had Israel obeyed the directions given them by Moses, not one of those who started on the journey from Egypt would in the wilderness have fallen a prey to disease or death. They were under a safe Guide. Christ had pledged Himself to lead them safely to the promised land if they would follow His guidance. This vast multitude, numbering more than a million people, was under His direct rule. They were His family. In every one of them He was interested.'
I have 65 under my guidance. Surely the Invisible leader can help me with that many if He helped Moses with more than a million. Look to the Invisible leader to be your guide so that you may be the visible leader for those in your path.
This was helpful to me.
Hi Katherine,
ReplyDeletewe are praying for you at the Women's bible study on Tuesday mornings. The Ellen White quote is
very true and I'm glad Jesus has been my leader ever since I accepted him at an evangelistic meeting in 1979. It just seems like He was more
invisible some times than others. I think it's
important to communicate with Him when ever possible. By talking to Him in prayer, and listening to Him in His word. Anyway, I hope you send some more things you find durring worship. It's great.
