Needing A Leader

If you're brought up Jewish, don't assume that you can lean back in the arms of your religion and take it easy, feeling smug because you're an insider to God's revelation, a connoisseur of the best things of God, informed on the latest doctrines! I have a special word of caution for you who are sure that you have it all together yourselves and, because you know God's revealed Word inside and out, feel qualified to guide others through their blind alleys and dark nights and confused emotions to God. While you are guiding others, who is going to guide you? I'm quite serious. While preaching "Don't steal!" are you going to rob people blind? Who would suspect you? The same with adultery. The same with idolatry. You can get by with almost anything if you front it with eloquent talk about God and his law. The line from Scripture, "It's because of you Jews that the outsiders are down on God," shows it's an old problem that isn't going to go away. Romans 2:17-24

Having someone, a leader, someone to be accountable to, is what the Bible is telling me here. If you are in a leadership position, it is even more critical that you have someone to guide you. It would be very hypocritical if you teach such things but don't abide by it. That is why it is important to have someone to watch over you.

As I grow in the Lord, I need someone to always be accountable to me so that I don't do things and sin against God. I always need to walk straight in God's path.

Lord, let me always follow your words. I pray that the Holy Spirit guide me and teach me to walk you in way Lord. I thank you for all the leaders that have helped me grow in you and I continue to always seek you. Thank you for everything and all your blessings.
Amen.
