Faithful Leader

I attended a remarkable Girl Scout retreat on the beach when I was 12, One sunny day, our leader approved for us to swim, after deciding the sea looked very calm. We all merrily plunged into the sea along with our leader and began playing, swimming and teasing each other. Suddenly, there came a huge wave that rolled us all over each other, sending all of us- including our leader- to the bottom of the sea. We could not catch our breath when another huge wave followed. Every wave had super-magnetic power pulling us to the deep. We struggled to make our way out and we all make it to safety.

Life is like the sea: sometimes wonderful and calm, sometimes agitated. The important question is: who is our leader, the one to tell us when to step in and when to stand still? Is he a leader who judges by appearance and limited physical senses, career, relationship, self, money, fame, or pleasures? Friends, thses types of leaders are from the world ("And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever." 1 John 2:17). They are deceiving as the world is and as the sea was during the retreat. When the world goes away, all these leaders will be tumbled along with it.

There is only one Faithful Mighty Leader who one day treaded the waters of the agitated sea and ordered it to calm, and it instantly obeyed. He is Jesus Christ. Not only is He a faithful leader, but a victorious Savior as well ("You [God] have put all things in subjection under His[Jesus'] feet... He[God] left nothing that is not put under him[Jesus]" Hebrews 2:8) Jesus himself affirmed, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." Matt 28:18

Our Faithful Leader, Jesus Christ, has willingly sacrificed His life for one sole reason: to seal God's fatherhood to us with His Blood. Through Jesus' Blood, you can live every day victoriously assur,ed that you are the son or daughter of the King, are led through life by the most omnipotent Leader, Jesus Christ and are comforted by the Holy Spirit. Declare your faith that nothing dares to go out of the control of your Leader.
