Following

in

In this world preoccupied with getting followers or signing up as a follower, we really need to reevaluate Who we really should be following!

He’s not out there frantically trying to get our attention with crazy posts, either! For generations, even millennia, He has constantly…and consistently… been surrounding His people with quiet reminders of who He is.

Whether it is in the beauty of His natural creation which can be discovered everywhere…

or seeing the endless galaxies when we take a moment to gaze upward…

or the joy and laughter of friends and family…

or the love and acceptance of our furry companions…

Just like the moon is a reflection of the sun…

or the mirror reflects your own face,

all of these joys are little reflections of His goodness.





The Lord GOD, the Holy One, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the King of this world and the world to come.

In the midst of all of the commotion,
He is whispering these words,

“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30.15

Be still…
and wait on the Lord.
Then,
and only then,
will you know
deep inside,

Who is directing your day.

Step aside and wait,
quietly trusting…

Then Follow.

    Thanks Debra very
    Thought-provoking ,letting God go first makes a lot of sense because he knows the way , but my tendencies are not stopping and waiting till he leads me to the next step of the journey 😢

    Thank you, Miss Debbie! Beautifully written! This reminded me of the song by C.R. Blackall: “Follow the Path of Jesus”

    Follow the path of Jesus,
    Walk where His footsteps lead;
    Keep in His beaming presence,
    Ev’ry counsel heed;
    Watch, while the hours are flying,
    Ready some good to do;
    Quick, while His voice is calling,
    Yield obedience true!

    Cling to the hand of Jesus…
    Take up the cross of Jesus…
