Having God Lead You Into Blessings

Acts 5:33-39
33When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. 34But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35Then he addressed them: "Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."


Whenever you have God on your side, then you will have His blessings to follow. Sometimes people go off and do their own thing, yet without the blessing of the Lord, it may not be as great as it can be.

We must always have the blessing of the Lord on our side. He is the one that leads and He will not curse what He does not want. If the Lord is not there, then who can stand against Him.

Father, Lord I pray that you may lead. Take charge of your ways and guide me in where you want to lead. If it is from you, then I know that you will bless it so much. But, if where I go and what I do is from myself, then direct me to follow your plans. I pray that you may lead me and guide me and be with me in all that I do. I thank you for all this. I pray this in Jesus mighty name.
Amen.
