Follow the Lord!

And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58- And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 62- And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9: 57- 58; 62)

The late John Denver has a song that he wrote for his wife entitled “Follow Me” which says;

“It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done, To be so in love with you and so alone
Follow me where I go what I do and who I know, Make it part of you to be a part of me
Follow me up and down all the way and all around, Take my hand and say you'll follow me.”

Put God’s perspective on the top and in your priority list. God indeed wanted for us to follow Him in everything that He’s doing in our lives, and in the lives of those around us. To follow the Lord would mean giving your all to God unselfishly, and without any reservation. You follow God even if it would cost you your family, fortune and fame. Follow the Lord whatever it takes… according to His Word and His will.
