God desires to lead us, His people. God went before the Children of Israel, and God goes before us, His church. Our view of God has to be very low when we do not follow Him, nor trust Him. The true, and living God desires to lead us into an abundant life (John 10:10). Serving God brings a full and abundant life. Our purpose for life is found in the glory of God. Seeing our steps as ones that are ordered by the Lord for His purpose is a phenomenal feeling of security. Our lives can be the hands and feet of God as we live as His workmanship (Ephesians 2:10). The only requirement for this security is our willingness to surrender our life, and follow Him. The difficulty is to give up our own securities, or at least what we think we can rely on. Our bank accounts, family, work, health, or retirement are all earthly securities that can only be protected by God, and His will and plan for our lives. Having these securities is not wrong. They are all just temporal compared to the eternal securities of walking in the arms of Jesus.
