Your Lord Precedes You

0:00You're listening to the Experiencing God Day-by-day podcast brought to you by Black and Me Ministries International. March 31st, your Lord precedes you. Mark 14, verse 28. But after I have been resurrected, I will go ahead of you to Galilee. God never sends you into a situation alone. He always goes before His children, as He did with the children of Israel when He led them with a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. You do not serve as His advanced troops in a foreign and hostile situation. He always precedes you in any situation you encounter. God is never caught by surprise by your experience. He has already been there. He is prepared to meet every need because He has gone before you and knows exactly what

1:01you will need for your pilgrimage, Deuteronomy 31, verse 8. Not only does God go before you, but He also stands beside you and behind you to provide protection and comfort. Psalm 139, verses 7-12. Jesus knew His disciples would be totally bewildered by His crucifixion, so He assured them in advance that no matter what happened, no matter where they went, they could go in confidence that He had already gone before them. Paul II experienced this assurance, Acts 18, verse 9, 23, verse 11. In the most bewildering circumstances, His Lord was there. If you are going through a difficult or confusing time, know that your Lord has gone before you and He is present with you. He is fully aware of what you are facing and He is actively responding to your need. There is nowhere you can go that you will not find Christ waiting for you to join Him.

2:01Even when you face death, you can be assured that He has gone before you in triumph. As a child of God, rest in the knowledge that your Savior preceded you and He will walk with you through each experience of your life.
