WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING?
A young man recently shared this testimony with us. He was driving to our home, came to the lights which were red, and obediently followed the car in front of him. All of a sudden he realized he was going through a red light! Why? Instead of looking up at the lights, he followed the person in front of him. This nearly got him into a lot of trouble.
Isaiah 53:6 is so true isn’t it? “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
How easy it is to do this in life. We subconsciously follow people around us. We assimilate into the ways of our humanistic society. Unless we diligently keep our eyes on Jesus and follow Him, we follow the crowd around us without realizing it.
Where are your eyes today? Are you looking to Jesus? Or are you influenced more by the pressure of family, friends, and society?
Let’s be Jesus followers, not crowd followers.
Romans 12:2 says: “LOOKING UNTO JESUS the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the hem, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Keep your eyes in the right place today,
