Follow Who?

It’s hard to live in this world, but not be of this world.  When we’re choosing who or what to follow, it’s MUCH easier to just “go with the flow” and do what everyone else does.   And it comes down to who we’re trying to please.  

It’s part of human nature to want approval from others, but too often we put man’s approval over God’s approval.  Because, let’s face it, even in today’s society where being “weird” is apparently cool, nobody really wants to stand out from the crowd and be the “radical” one.

BUT, sometimes following God means that we will look really weird in the eyes of man.  They don’t “get” us.  They might even reject us.  BUT, as Christ-followers, we need to care about following God’s plan for our lives—weirdness and all!

This Chris Tomlin song is our prayer for Team Huss.  That we will go where God goes, we will stay where God stays, we will move when God moves, we will love who God loves, we will serve how God serves, and no matter what--even if we lose our life--we will follow HIM.

Chris Tomlin
I Will Follow You

Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow...

All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone

Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I'll love
How you serve, I'll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you

Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You're the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone

In you there's life everlasting
In you there's freedom for my soul
In you there's joy, unending joy
and I will follow

I love that song, Lauren. I have used that anthem many times in my life as well. I am thankful that although follwing him may at times seem like a mighty leap of faith, that faith is always strengthened on the other side. He has a plan, He has a season.
