Thoughts from a Random Mind

Following Jesus is what a believer does or at least is supposed to do. The Oxford Dictionary lists “following” to mean: “to follow somebody or something to come or go after or behind somebody in order to watch where they go and what they do.” This falls in line with imitating Christ, which should be our aim. 

The world is an unforgiving place, filled with temptations that wish to drag us off the path God has shown us. Our faith and trust in God is continuously tested to see how serious we are about serving God no matter what befalls us. The devil promises all the things that we think we want to make our life more pleasurable, but scripture is clear, the devil is a liar and the father of all lies. He’s like what the world calls a “pathological” liar. He cannot be trusted even for a split second. That’s all it takes to fall by the wayside. Although our enemy has many tools in his bag that can batter us about, he will never be as powerful as Almighty God. 

Following Satan is a fool’s errand that promises you things that you don’t truly need and even if you can have them, you cannot keep them. Some of the supposedly GREAT things this world can offer us are meaningless from an eternal perspective. Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
