Follow Me

Jesus commands us to follow Him. Listen to the Word of God:

Matthew 8:22
But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”

Matthew 4:20
They immediately left their nets and followed him.

Matthew 8:1
When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

Matthew 9:9

As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.

Matthew 10:38

He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me, isn’t worthy of me.

Let us pray: Lord we clearly hear your command to follow you. We ask for your help in doing so. Our spirit's are willing but our flesh is weak. Help us to avoid the pitfalls around us and stay on course following you, Amen.

You are on God's mind

God is thinking of you.

Psalm 40:5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

And let's remind ourselves again of Psalm 139:17  How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

We can trust God's wisdom: Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

And Romans 11:33  reads: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Don't despair. God is thinking and planning good things for you.

God is still with you

Psalms 139:17-18 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!

If I were to count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.

Think about that: "I am still with you." When Jesus gives us the gift of faith, we are given a passkey into the presence of our Heavenly Father. We are still with God every day of our lives. He is with us when we wake up, He is with us during the day, He is with us as we sleep. "Psalms 3:5 I lay down and slept; I awoke; for the LORD sustained me."

The Psalmist wrote in Psalms 139:3: "Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways." The dictionary defines "compassest" as an archaic English term (second-person singular present) meaning to surround, encircle, encompass, or scrutinize. I guess you could say God is very much involved in all areas of our lives.

And then there is the guarantee of eventually facing God after death: Psalms 17:15: "As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness."

We are not alone. Our Creator's love and presence are with us throughout eternity.

The LORD is my strength

The Song of Moses includes this in Exodus 15:2  The LORD is my strength and song. He has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

Please understand that we are talking about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Not some "other" god that is proclaimed by those false prophets who claim to have a new revelation from God and a new interpretation of the Word of God. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the God who sent Messiah Jesus to cleanse away our sins and to teach us how to live day by day. We can understand Jesus by opening our Bibles and reading what He has to say. And, of course, obeying what He says.

No matter how weak I feel, my aim is to trust and exalt Him. The dictionary says exalt means "hold (someone or something) in very high regard; think or speak very highly of."

If I pray for strength and my illness still makes me weak, I will trust and exalt Him. If I have new strength, I will trust and exalt Him.

In good seasons and not-so-good seasons, let's trust and exalt the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
