The Psalmist asked the Lord to lead him for the sake of God’s Name. He also used the words, “Into Your hands I commit my spirit.” These were the words Jesus used as he neared death, hanging upon the cross. Christ sacrificed His life that we might live. The Heavenly Father led Him to that moment because it was God’s eternal will and plan to redeem man. Christ relinquished His entire will to the Father … “Nevertheless not My will but Thine be done.”

We relinquish our will to God and let Him lead us. We accept each challenge along the way and reckon them as God’s will. All of life’s experiences blend together to make us who He wants us to be and equip us to do His will.

Ask the Lord to lead you for the sake of His Name and His Spirit will begin to reveal His higher purpose for the things you go through.
