U Go B4 Me

There is a song, called Signature of the Divine by Need to Breathe and tonight I just realized anew the beauty of the words I’ve been singing for months now.

“Great is Your Glory when You go before me.”
Isn’t that exactly what God promised to Moses as He guided the Israelites through the desert?  He would lead the way.  All they had to do was follow the Leader.  

Exodus 13:21-22
By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.
Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

I wander, but He hasn’t.  I forget, but He is still there.  I get busy and yet, He remains waiting for me.  I stagnate.  He calls to me ready to get going and guide me again.  He gives exactly what I need by day or light by night.

“Take me, and pull me through.  Cause I can't move without you.”
Isn’t that the truth?  When I boil it down to the bottom-line, I really have no direction without him.  My desires aren’t all worth pursuing.
So, I’m submitting to His Leadership again.  I have to renew this commitment a lot.  Over and over I have to come to the place where I acknowledge who is Lord and my desire to follow the Leader.
