Following the Lead


There are things in life that are tough.  There are situations that are hard.  There are times that we are just not sure how to get through what is put in front of us. Sometimes the answer is right in front of us....follow your lead.

In football, a running back doesn't make it far on his own.  If he is left to get through the line on his own, chances are he will have negative yardage...or simply put, he will go backwards.  If the running back follows the lead of his blockers, he will have success and make progress.  He has offensive lineman opening holes and a lead blocker clearing the way.  Working together, they can have success.

It is similar in life.  We are not meant to tackle all of life's challenges on our own. We have help and support.  We have front lineman and lead blockers...we just need to follow their lead.  God puts people in our lives for a reason.

The way to make forward progress is to have faith and trust in God's plan for us...let Him lead for us and open up the path we need to follow; surround ourselves with people that lead well and are good to follow and look for those openings with some blue skies and sunshine on the other side.
