Leading Wherever You Are
JOSHUA
Translation)—to remind the Israelites that God was with them wherever they went, whatever
they did. In the same way, we should know the Bible well enough that when certain situations
arise, we’re able to quickly remember God’s assurances from His Word. When fear overtakes
us, we may think of John 14:27. When we don’t understand a season we’re going through,
we recite Proverbs 3:5-6. When we are weary and heavy-hearted, we may think immediately
of Matthew 11:28.
My peace is the legacy I leave to you. I don’t give gifts like those of this world. Do not let
your heart be troubled or fearful. (John 14:27, The Voice)
Place your trust in the Eternal; rely on Him completely;
never depend upon your own ideas and inventions.
Give Him the credit for everything you accomplish,
and He will smooth out and straighten the road that lies ahead. (Proverbs 2:5-6, The
Voice)
Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:2830, The Voice)
What are some ways you can apply these three principles in your own life?

If we are to be women who “lead out” and lead well, then we should be women who know,
practice, and pass on God’s Word—not just His commandments but His many promises
throughout Scripture. Whether in the workplace or with our families, being able to lead from the
perspective of the Bible is paramount.
Flip to the back of your Bible for the concordance or topical index and look for scriptures on
something you’re currently facing or you’re in need of (peace, patience, joy, etc.). Select a verse
and resolve to commit it to memory this week. Let God’s words pour over you as He brings His
truth from head-knowledge to heart-knowledge.
Write your selected verse here, and ask God to help you lead out of the abundance of His Word:
