DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 2; Jeremiah 10; Ephesians 4:1-16
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity,
peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Tim. 2:22
True Christians don’t do their own thing; they are good followers. We
begin, of course, by answering the call of the Lord to salvation and
discipleship, “Follow Me.” Christ said, “My sheep hear My voice, I
know them, and they follow Me.” Then Paul says to follow “righteousness,
godliness, faith, charity, peace with those who call on the
Lord out of a pure heart.” Are these the things we follow? Do we
choose our friends by this holy criteria? We should! We can’t follow
the Lord if we’re walking in the counsel of the ungodly.—Carl Knott
Jesus calls us over the tumult, of our life’s wild, restless, sea;
Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, saying, “Christian, follow Me!”—C. F. A.
