Jesus Take The Lead

What are you a follower of, Tik-Tok, Twitter (X), Facebook, the Atlanta Braves, Georgia Bulldogs, Jesus Christ or some music group? We have lots of choices of what to follow but the question is how much we are following? 

The options we pick can define who we are. In our present society we can look for the quick fix, the immediate satisfaction option, and become a living microwave organism existing by whatever makes us feel good right now. Those of us who have been through addiction recovery are well aware of the pitfalls of a life lived like this and the emptiness it brings.

We can also be much like the game show Let's Make A Deal. We make decisions on what's behind door #1, door #2 or door #3 and we waffle back and forth with uncertainty looking for the big prize of the day.  In one episode the contestant was asked for her door pick and hers was door #3. When asked why she chose #3 she responded that it was her number and she was sticking with it, that was her trusted option.

Naturally she won the big prize of the day, a trip to Belize, but that wasn't all. She also won a trip to Tuscany, Italy making the deal worth over $21,000. By choosing what she knew would work she was blessed with abundance. So, what if we made God our main option to follow instead of just another option to choose when we are in trouble or despair?

I think, in fact I know that when we do he provides everything we need plus bonuses along the way.  Here's a comparison for you to consider:
​
1 Cor 15:10 Bad company corrupts good character.
                                   or
John 8:12 When Jesus spoke to the people again he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but have the light of life".

On the one hand, success and fulfillment. On the other, temporary success immediately followed by failure.  When we let Jesus Take The Lead the big prize is always behind his door#3!

3 wise men came, 3 men on the crosses, 3 days in the tomb, 3 years of Jesus ministry, 3 days Paul was blinded, 3 days in the whale for Jonah, 33 years Jesus lived. 

It'll only take about 3 minutes to select him as your trusted main option to follow!
