One of the most victorious days of our lives is the day we realize we are not God. Better still is the day when we exalt God as God with joy and delight. Until we get this right, everything is wrong. The first order of operations is acknowledging God as God. The second is trusting him in every moment. 

Pharaoh refused to see God for who he is. He trusted in himself and his collection of puny gods. His hardening heart ruined everything for the Egyptians. 

That’s not good leadership. 

Sometimes, the best leadership lessons come from bad examples. Pharaoh provides us with a nice Top Ten list. 

What have you learned from Pharaoh’s foolishness?

How do you embrace God’s grace and mercy? 

How do you exalt him alone as God? 

This is a book full of experiences with God on the go. One of the most used words in this book is “go.” We can go with God into the special future he has for us, or we can end up with a whole lot of nothing like Pharaoh. On this day when I am traveling home from the Far Country, I gladly go with God. Don’t leave home without him.

I will know God is God and go with him wherever he leads.

Our Father, you alone are God. I am not. You can do anything but fail. You are perfect in every way. Lead me all day in every way. Amen.
