His Tracks

Tracks are unmistakable in the snow!  Mr. Bill commented how easily rabbits are tracked in the snow but it’s not rabbit season.  Hooray for the rabbits!  Several years ago after losing power, Mr. Bill decided it was too cold for me to stay home and as Dustin advised me to walk in his tracks as he guided me to the car.  I felt like a toddler being taken to daycare!  Yes, of course, I know they were taking care of me!

 

We should take note of the steps of Christ; He has made them unmistakable.  He could have come to earth, been crucified, conquered death then returned promptly to The Father but … He did not.  He chose to walk among people as The Life in The Way of The Truth (John 14:6).  After the snow fall, it didn’t take long for tracks to be everywhere and the beauty of the snow to disappear. What a mess!  The same thing happens when we make our own way in life, creating our own set of tracks.  We ignore the knowledge of God’s Truth as we make choices and decisions; before long we are out of fellowship with God and life is a mess!  Choosing instead to follow Christ, to walk in His steps keeps us close to Him and in The Way of The Truth. Ephesians 5:1 says, we are to be “imitators of God, as beloved children,” as we learn what is “pleasing to the Lord” (V.10).  Fewer tracks are best in the snow and in life.  Are you making your own tracks or carefully walking in Christ’s?   Stick to one set of tracks – His!
