We should follow our Lord as sheep follow their shepherd, without hesitation. He has the right to lead us wherever He chooses. We're not our own; we've been bought with a price. Let's acknowledge the rights of the redeeming blood. Soldiers follow their captains, servants obey their masters. How much more should we follow our Redeemer, to whom we belong. We're not true Christians if we question the guidance of our Leader and Commander.

Submission is our duty, questioning is foolish. Jesus might often say to us, as He did to Peter, "What's that to you? Follow me." Wherever Jesus leads, He goes before us. Even if we don't know the destination, we know who we're with.

With Him, who would fear the road ahead? The journey may be long, but God's eternal arms will carry us to the end. Jesus' presence assures us of eternal salvation. Because He lives, we will live too. Let's follow Christ with simple trust, knowing every path He leads us down ends in glory and immortality.

These paths might not be smooth. They could be filled with sharp trials, but they lead to "the city with foundations, whose builder and maker is God." Every path of the Lord is mercy and truth for those who keep His covenant. Let's put our trust completely in our Leader. Whether in prosperity or adversity, sickness or health, His purpose is pure good for every heir of mercy. We'll find joy climbing the bleak hills with Christ. When storms blow against us, His love makes us more blessed than those who sit warm by the world's fires. To the heights, the lion's dens, or the leopard's hills, we'll follow our Beloved. Precious Jesus, draw us, and we'll run after You.
