From Wednesday to Saturday I have been exhibiting Music to Light the World in Nashville, TN at a large counseling conference with 6,000 attendees. Before arriving I was talking with a church in Milwaukee about possibly coming there for a December Peace concert this Christmas season, and had shared that ideally I would like to have at least one other place to play if I came so far from Atlanta. I had been praying for direction about this, and in the first few hours on Wednesday afternoon I met a pastor and his wife from 30 minutes south of Milwaukee, followed by a worship director from a large church 30 minutes north of Milwaukee. This was an amazing assurance that God directs our steps one moment at a time by faith (Proverbs 16:9).

Some highlights from Experiencing God Week 1…Watch to see where God is working and join Him (John 5:17). Focus on obedience to go with God in the work He is doing and in what He tells me to do. Entrust Him with the future. Think on one thing at a time. Follow His lead. Do not be anxious (Philippians 4:6). Be free (John 8:32). Discern where God is working. Align my “push” with His “pull.” Wait upon the Lord with active patience.

The Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country . . . go to the land I will show you” (Genesis 12:1). Am I willing to follow God by faith and not by sight? “It is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13). When I trust Jesus to guide me one step at a time, I experience tremendous freedom. Thank you Lord for the freedom I will experience in life today by trusting You.
