Following God's Instructions

We serve a detailed God. When He does something, He does it well. Often, when the Lord needed someone to help facilitate His plans, God gave detailed instructions on what He wanted them to do.

Noah was given exact measurements and dimensions for building the ark. The people of Israel were given express instructions regarding the construction of the tabernacle, the dress of the priests, and how to go before the Lord in worship. When God was leading Gideon, He showed him exactly how to pick out the troops who would lead Gideon to victory.

If God has placed a dream in your heart, you can be sure that He has a detailed path of how to get you to your destiny. All you have to do is follow what He tells you. Tune your ear to hear the voice of the Lord, and you will not be led down the wrong way.

Many of God's instructions may seem incorrect.

I imagine the servants who filled the water pots with water were wondering how Jesus was going to get more wine if the pots were already full. Yet, when they went to serve, wine had shown up!

I'm sure both the people of Jericho and the nation of Israel were curious as to how God was going to lead the Israelites to victory over such a strong and powerful country. Yet, when the Israelites obeyed God and lifted up a mighty shout - the walls of Jericho came tumbling down.

When God gives you instructions, follow. Don't hesitate, second guess, or ignore His requests. We serve an all-knowing God. You can trust His every word. He will lead you to an expected end of victory. All you have to do is follow after Him.

Today, listen to the Lord's voice. Do what He asks of you no matter what it is. And then watch how the Lord brings you to your destiny in Him.
