Who do you follow?

Sometimes it feels like it is us versus the world. We get bombarded through the media with how we should look, think, and act. It is easy to loose who we are and what makes us joyful with these distraction.

We are easily put down, told we aren't good enough, we get jealous, lonely, angry and depressed. It is the world. The world is a dark place. In a previous blog I talked about how this is Satins playground, it is. We people please, we try and be "perfect" with the "perfect" life, the big house with three cars, with a good job. There is still more than this Earthly need, but we look at people are we tell ourselves that we aren't good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, but we are only comparing ourselves to other broken people.


We will continue to be depressed if we are following other broken people that look like that have it all together with a "perfect" life.

Why do you try to be someone who are aren't, they are already taken? Why is it so hard to follow the God of the universe that loves us to an infinite level and thinks about us more than the grains of sand on the beach?

Who is this God, who is Jesus Christ and why would we want to follow Him instead of people and the world?

 
God is all knowing...
"Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
    his understanding has no limit." (Psalm 147:5)

God is approachable...
"The Lord is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth." (Psalms 145:18)

God is creative...
"...where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth." (Psalms 121:1,2)

God is compassionate...
"As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him" (Psalm 103:13)

God is truthful...
 "-in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time," (Titus 1:2)


God is NEVER changing...
"Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow." (James 1:17)

God is patient... 
The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
    the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm,
    and clouds are the dust of his feet. (Nahum 1:3)


Why wouldn't we want to follow someone that has these qualities?
