How can we be used by God in obeying Christ's instruction to "Follow Me"? It starts with three simple steps.
Often when beginning our faith journey in heeding the call of Jesus Christ to "Follow Me," we remain unsure of our human footsteps regarding what lies ahead.
Just like any road map, it looks like straight black lines towards experiencing eternity in God's realm, but experience tells us from other roads we have traveled that those seemingly linear lines are full of bumps, dips and curves along the way.
As we spiritually buckle up for the journey, our hearts may be firm, and we sincerely desire to heed our Heavenly Father's calling, but our knees may be shaking and even a bit wobbly. Starting out on the narrow path to life (Matthew 7:13-14), we may even be pondering, "Will I have what it takes to stay on that narrow path behind the lead of the Good Shepherd?"
Let's be blunt: None of us have what it takes on our own or it would merely be by our works. Never, ever forget-it's about what God is performing in us and not we of ourselves. But, once we have surrendered our past, present and future to His perfect will, where would He have us start in faith-filled responsiveness to His invitation?
It's as simple and yet as challenging as three simple steps:
Be available.
Be open.
Be willing.
That's it? That's all? Indeed it is! Sad to say, even veteran Christians have often lost their way because they've forgotten these three basic steps of how to respond to Christ's call to "Follow Me."
So whether we're novices on this journey or an old-timer at the end of our rope with worry and doubt, let's allow the Good Shepherd to "prepare a table before us" to understand these three vital steps towards eternity in an event that happened long ago on a hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee.
