"Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies-- make straight your way before me." -- Psalm 5:8

The prayer of the Psalmist is a model for each of us.  In our various roles in life, we are called to lead or to follow.  So many would have us follow them and then lead.  But how can we lead if we've not learned by following the right leader?  If you want peace, if you want hope, if you want love, you must go to the Source and follow where he leads.  Pray for the humility necessary to follow Christ.  And then follow where he leads.

Readings:  1 Chronicles 4:5-5:17; Acts 25:1-27; Psalm 5:1-12; Proverbs 18:19
