I'm with Him

"And He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.' Matthew 4:19

I started this day as I do many Tuesday mornings, meeting with a brother in Christ over coffee at McDonald's. This morning John shared about challenges in the workplace. He pointed out that he often asks Jesus to go before him on his way to work.

As he spoke I immediately had a mental picture of myself walking with Jesus. We encounter others and I point to Jesus over my shoulder and say, "He's with me."

Wrong! That picture should reveal me pointing to Jesus AHEAD of me -- as I point forward and tell others: "I'm with Him!"

Thank you, Dear Shepherd, for Your commitment to each of Your precious sheep, at all times and under all circumstances. Forgive me my habit of pushing my way in front of you. I ask that I would hear The Shepherd's voice always, and follow in obedience. Thy will be done.
