      Lead the Way
      Charles H. Spurgeon
      Mar 27, 2007


March 28

"The LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail" (Deuteronomy 28:13).

If we obey the LORD, He will compel our adversaries to see that His blessing
rests upon us. Though this be a promise of the law, yet it stands good to the
people of God; for Jesus has removed the curse, but He has established the
blessing.

It is for saints to lead the way among men by holy influence: they are not to
be the tail, to be dragged hither and thither by others. We must not yield to
the spirit of the age, but compel the age to do homage to Christ. If the LORD
be with us, we shalt not crave toleration for religion, but we shall seek to
seat it on the throne of society. Has not the LORD Jesus made His people
priests. Surely they are to teach and must not be learners from the
philosophies of unbelievers. Are we not in Christ made kings to reign upon the
earth? How, then can we be the servants of custom, the slaves of human opinion?

Have you, dear friend, taken up your true position for Jesus? Too many are
silent because diffident, if not cowardly. Should we allow the name of the LORD
Jesus to be kept in the background? Should our religion drag along as a tail?
Should it not rather lead the way and be the ruling force with ourselves and
others?
