Just Follow Him
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Do you follow so and so on Twitter? Did you see how many Instagram followers so and so has? These are just a couple things mentioned in today’s society. You might follow some people and get some inspirational quotes, a few laughs, maybe even great recipe ideas. However, if you’d truly follow the light of this world you could have:
1. Peace
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
2. Prosperity in eternal things
Matthew 6:19-20 [19] Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
3. Promise of a true friend
Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
4. Pact that He’s always there
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
5. Pardon for your sins
John 3:16-17 [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
We can have all this and a whole lot more if we would just follow Him. Follow:
1. What His word teaches
2. Where His will leads us
3. When things are tough
My hope and prayer today my friend is that you are following the true Light of this world. If you put all your hope and trust in Him and follow Him then He will take care of everything else!!
