Lenten Devotional - Day 16

Psalm 43

"O send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling."

 Throughout our lives we are called to be both leaders and followers. Depending upon the situation we may need to lead and in other times we may need to follow. Much like the psalmist is describing above, our light and truth can often lead. Similarly, the light and truth of others can, and often does, lead us. In these moments, when we have been called to lead or called to follow, recognizing that call is most important. We may not want to lead, we may not want to follow, but leading and being led are both imperative when pursuing those holy hills in our lives.

When have you led? When have you followed?

Creator of the hills, we are prepared to lead and we are ready to follow. Equip us with the tools to lead and follow with humility.
