The Lord knows the plans that He has for us are to prosper and do good. Consequently, we must follow His path. We cannot choose to move in another direction. I would argue strongly that many of us have discovered the pain and heartache when we have stepped out from the Lord’s path. We cannot…

Today’s devotion speaks of true followers. The word true stands out because it implies that there are untrue followers. There are things true followers do that indicate they know exactly who and whose they are. True followers follow the Lord every day, and their attributes are many.
