Good morning! 

Blessings to you, your families and communities. 

What does it mean to follow? Implicit within this question is the understanding that this life is about finding direction, purpose and meaning. 

Have you found this today? We follow because innate within each of us is the desire to be fulfilled, to be understood and to belong. 

Our desire for God, the desire to seek after and for Him alone, resides deep within our spirit and psyche. We were made with a deep desire for connection, for communion with God. Nothing else will satisfy the question for self understanding, life meaning and purpose. 

We are made whole in God. We are renewed and find favour only through his love. 

Whatever your experience yesterday, today or tomorrow, hold to the conviction that it is God and God alone who is altogether lovely. 

He makes all things beautiful in His time. 

There is no shadow of turning with Him. 

He sent his son so that through Him we might experience joy despite the sorrow, hope in despair and peace though the storm rages. 

Who do you follow today? What or who has your heart? Following takes a concerted effort. It means we walk by faith and not by sight. 

We are not swayed by feelings. We stand and live by our convictions and principles. 

Is this easy? No- but all things are possible with God

We as believers need to have a determination so like Job we can say though he slay me yet will I trust Him. We have to settle in our minds that what God allows, he will enable it to work for our good 🙏
