Follow, follow, I would follow Jesus
I love to water ski. When I was learning I found some basic rules to follow: One, the skier must follow the boat. Skiing ahead of the boat doesn’t work very well. Two, the skier should travel in the same direction as the boat. Three, the skier must hold on to the rope being pulled by the boat. If not, he will stop very quickly.
Following Jesus is something like water skiing. One, it works best if Jesus is out front, pulling, rather than behind, pushing. Two, it is best if both you and Jesus are traveling in the same direction. His direction. And three, it is best if you hold on very tightly; otherwise, your forward progress will stop.
Let’s all work on following Jesus this week. Don’t forget to hold on very tightly.
The song I sing today is - “guided by the unseen hand”. Let’s God’s hand guide, hold, and carry you.
