Greener Pastures

The whole world is chasing after wind, being part of the rat race, seeking for greener pastures which they never find. But, those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God and He leads them to greener pastures.
The only One who can lead us and take us to green pastures where we find rest for our souls, is Jesus Christ Himself. His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him but if you want to be one of His sheep you have to deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus every day. He will guide you to green pastures but He will also take you through the narrow places, He will take you through the shadow of death. You will be persecuted, you will be rejected by men, but in all these things Jesus will be with you and in the end He will guide you to greener pastures.
His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him and that is why He guides them. That is why they reach that place of rest. Are you following the Good Shepherd? Have you denied yourself  and are you picking up your cross every day and following Jesus? There is a way that seems right to man but the end of that road is destruction. Only Jesus Christ can guide us to that place of perfect rest, perfect peace and  perfect contentment when we SUBMIT TO Him and we SERVE HIM as Lord and Master.
Have you decided to follow the  Good Shepherd? Is He YOUR Lord and Master? Or, are you chasing after wind?
May Jesus bless you.
