Okay so what’s the word for today? Right it’s YELLOW! uh what? no, it's “follow”. But here’s the point I’d like to put forward; 1) the obvious isn’t always what we do and 2) the right thing isn’t always what we do.
By following the yellow brick road Dorothy eventually made it to Emerald City and met the great and powerful OZ. Sure she had some distractions along the way and took a couple of wrongs turns. She ended up in the witches castle for a bit, but at the end of the day she found the good witch of the North and made it back home all safe and sound.
Our journey should be as simple, follow the straight and narrow road try not to get caught up in the distractions, stay away from evil, find a good friend {Jesus} who will lead us home to Heaven; where we'll meet the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of all, our God and Saviour.
To follow: according to dictionary.com is the act of following. In Matthew 4:19 Jesus said, “Come, follow me”. At times we will be called to follow “en masse”, as a group. But the day in day out existence of the believer is done individually. We need to stop the comparisons; and start following Jesus. A lot of the subtle changes we seek to make in our lives are going to push and pull us into areas of the unknown and perhaps the unpopular. But if we are truly seeking after Him and are motivated, then, when action is called for, we will not only follow but follow through. Who knows where those subtle changes are going to lead.. . ...
Blessings
