Remember what Jesus said as He called His disciples. Peter and Andrew, “…Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. They immediately left their nets and followed Him.” Matthew 4:19-20. Matthew, “…He said to him, Follow Me. So he arose and followed Him.” Matthew 9:9.
Psalm 85:13 says, “Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway.” This means that He goes before us. He has cleared the way. When we follow in His footsteps we will not get derailed.
I love the words to “I Know My Heavenly Father Knows.” Chorus: He knows, He knows, the storms that would my way oppose; He knows, He knows, and tempers every wind that blows.
David followed the Lord. He wrote Psalm 63. Verse 8 in the Amplified says, “My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me.”
