Duct Taped to Jesus!

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 30:10-20

If you were to duct tape two people together and have them run an obstacle course, and for it to work without a very painful separation, three things have to happen:

First, someone has to lead.  If the two are heading in different directions it’s going to be very painful and very unproductive.  Someone has to be the leader and set the direction and the other has to follow the leader.  The Bible says we should cleave to God.  That means we need to stick so close to Him that it’s like we are duct taped to Jesus!  If you are smart you will let Him lead.  He knows the way to the finish line in life and He will never lead you wrong.

Second, you have to stay close. If one person is moving and the other isn’t moving it’s going to ouch time.  The farther apart the two people get the more painful each move will become.  The two people have to stay real close and work together as one team and not two people.  As you walk with God stay close to Him.  If you start to lag behind you will notice that it gets harder and harder to keep the joy of the Lord and to serve Him.

Third, No Pushing!  If the two people start pushing and shoving each other the race is over.  Teens, don’t try and “push” the Lord’s will for your life.  He knows what you need, and your plans for your future.  Don’t get ahead of God’s will.  Wait on Him to lead you, He will never let you down!
