Something To Think About...
A teenage girl got lost in her car in a snowstorm. She remembered what her dad had once told her: “If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, wait for a snowplow and follow it.” Pretty soon a snowplow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about forty-five minutes. Finally the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing. She explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in the snow, to follow a plow.
The driver nodded and said, “Well, I’m done with the Wal-mart parking lot, now you can follow me over to K-mart.”
There’s nothing wrong with following others as long as we know that they are headed in the right direction. Even the apostle Paul was careful to limit those who sought to follow him. “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.”(1Corinthians11:1,ESV)
Following a snowplow blindly may have minor consequences, but following someone blindly in the realm of religion can have serious (and eternal consequences. Be careful who you follow!
