Following Jesus

     Looking at the life of Jesus gives us insight. How do we follow Him? What did He seek as He roamed the roads of Jerusalem? Who did He hang out with? What did He do as He rose to meet the day? What were His priorities? Last week we witnessed His anger at the outer show of the lawmakers of the day. We know He sees our hearts as most important; not our degrees or our jobs or our appearance.

     This week we will follow the Lord. He knew His purpose and He knew each day brought Him closer to the cross. He never hurried. He took time to stop and listen to each individual need along the way. And as He walked He taught His disciples. We, too, need to start with His teaching and His word before He sets us out to fulfill our purpose. Let’s follow along with Jesus.

My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow me.  John 10:27

Jesus,
We want to follow You. Teach us to listen for Your voice above all others. Give us Your wisdom to seek what is most important each day and give us the patience and love to stop along the way for others.

Amen
