but your OP said:
as long as I follow his teachings

There is no contradiction, if the Lord wanted you to be a sheep, you would not be typing here. Again the Lord follows me wherever I go.but your OP said:

God is not content to follow you; that is his promise to those who obey him. Look at any passage in the Bible where you see this promise, and you will see that it is always dependent on our obedience to him. Or if you want, when we obey him, he is there to strengthen us and guide us. When we disobey him, he is there to receive us back if we repent, and to strengthen us and put us back on track.Joshua 1:9:
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

So do you want everyone to be exactly like you? Did I tell you about the day God told me to buy Apple and Google stock shares?Well, after reading your posts on here it appears to me that you're the looniest poster on these boards. To the point where we don't even need to give scripture to refute you, we can simply sit and watch as you say one loony thing after another.
What does God look like, being that you are telling people that you follow him everywhere.God is not content to follow you; that is his promise to those who obey him.

Hello @Alvertsky,Joshua 1:9:
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

LOL so what you just said is that you pick and choose whichever bible passages suit your needs at the moment.Hello @Alvertsky,
With respect, Joshua 1:1-9, is spoken to Joshua and to the children of Israel who he was being instructed to lead into the promised land. Lovely as these words are, we cannot apply them to ourselves.
Thank you
In Christ Jesus

God does not recognize Jews, Christians or any other denomination, he created all of us, did Jesus feed everyone or just the few who read the right things.
Hello @Alvertsky,
No, I do not 'pick-and-choose' as you say, but I do take note of who is being spoken to, by whom and with what intent, for though all Scripture is 'for' us, not all is 'about' us.
Thank you
In Christ Jesus

The Lord is with me wherever I go, if you need to follow like a scared sheep he will lead you. However if during your life you ever come across a lost sheep will you keep following or rescue the sheep? To do the rescue you become the Shepherd himself and when you go on your own he is still with you.Hello @Alvertsky,
