Follower

I have a follower on my blog! Yay! Just one, but still, I have a follower! 


I've been thinking about following lately. I'm not a good follower. I'd rather be the leader. But I'm supposed to be following God. 
Revelation 17:14 says, "They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers" (NIV). 


His job is to call and choose, our job is to be faithful and follow. 
I know I am called. 
I know I am chosen. 
I want to be a faithful follower. 


Today, my goal is to start unconnecting. That is, after these 15 minutes (yes, I have a timer going!) I'm getting off of the computer, even if I'm in mid sent....










Just kidding...


But I've been on the computer WAY too much lately. I have been "following" my computer. That means sometimes Josiah is pulling on me to go play and I get irritated with him... when in reality he should be my first priority. 


I've been asking myself who or what I've been following. I don't want to be following anyone or anything except for Jesus. In fact, I don't just want to follow without passion, listlessly dragging along. I want to be running after Him! How do I redirect my attention to the One I should be following? 


Who or what have you been following? What can you do to step away from those things and run after the One who has chosen and called you?
