FOLLOWING BY FAITH

Following by Faith

Last Sunday I did music at church.  That always means that my husband and I have to drive separate cars because I have to be there so early.  After church we were going out with a group of friends for lunch.  I took my "gear" to my car while my husband found out where everybody was going to eat.  He got into his truck and waved me to follow him.  He pulled his truck out of the church parking lot and I set my eyes on his bumper and followed.  I had no idea where we were going but I knew he did.  I knew that if I got caught behind a slower vehicle, he'd pull over and wait for me.  He'd make sure I didn't get lost along the way.  He would keep me in his mirror and guide me where ever we headed.

How like this is our walk through this life?

We know the ultimate destination is eternal life in the Lord's presence. 

And the road there - well - Jesus leads us all along the way.

We follow

We don't turn to the right or left

We set our sights on Him

Even when He seems so far ahead

Almost out of our line of sight sometimes

He slows

And leads

Tenderly

Patiently

Gently

Fixing our eyes on Jesus the Author and Perfector of our faith.
