Let God Lead You

by Tony Read on July 16, 2021

A couple weeks ago now, I was driving to work by myself and had the music cranking, my spotify playing. And a song came on that I had not heard before, or if I had, I hadn't really paid attention. The song is a couple of years old and it's called “Spirit Lead Me”, by Influence Music and Michael Ketterer. As that song was playing, the words really ministered to me just very deep in my soul. And even brought tears running down my cheeks. Some guys don’t like to say they get emotional. I do get emotional. Years ago I did not. My son has said, “Man, dad used to be just, like, the death stare and no emotion!” God’s changed me a bit. But anyway, as the song was playing, I probably played it over and over about a dozen times on the way to work. I want to read off these verses to you of the song and the chorus. 

“This is my worship
This is my offering
In every moment
I withhold nothing
I'm learning to trust You
Even when I can't see it
And even in suffering
I have to believe it
If You say 'it's wrong', then I'll say 'no'
If You say 'release', I'm letting go
If You're in it with me, I'll begin
And when You say to jump, I'm diving in
If You say 'be still', then I will wait
If You say to trust, I will obey
I don't wanna follow my own ways
I'm done chasing feelings
Spirit lead me
It felt like a burden
But once I could grasp it
You took me further
Further than I was asking
And simply to see You
It's worth it all
My life is an altar
Let Your fire fall
When all hope is gone
And Your word is all I've got
I have to believe
You still bring water from the rock
To satisfy my thirst
To love me at my worst
And even when I don't remember
You remind me of my worth
I don't trust my ways
I'm trading in my thoughts
I lay down everything
'Cause You're all that I want
I've landed on my knees
This is the cup You have for me
And even when it don't make sense
I'm gonna let Your Spirit lead”

There is so much that could be unpacked in the different phrases, words, sentences in this song. I’ve listened to it over and over and over again since the day I heard it. 

The biggest thing that I want to bring to you is to encourage you to let the Spirit lead. Let the Spirit lead you. Don’t let you lead you, don’t let other people lead you, don’t let the world lead you, don’t let Facebook lead you, don’t let Instagram lead you. 

I encourage you in this, that when you are led by the Spirit, you’re on the right path.
