Why are you here? Why were you ever born?

1st Peter 2:21 answers the question in a very simple way
"For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS"

We are to do nothing but follow Christ. This world has us so entangled with things that really don't matter. We have priorities set in our life that really shouldn't be but because this world has told us it is important - we have started believing them.

How should I walk? The scripture is plain and to the point - "follow in His steps".

That encourages me! First we are to follow Him. No questions asked just simply follow.

But it also says "in His steps". I like this mostly because if I walk in His steps I will never go to a place where Christ has never been or where I am not suppose to be. I will never go through a storm that Christ hasn't already been through. And if something comes before me, it had to go through Christ first before it got to me. And if Christ made it through it, then I will too because I am following Him. He knows the way out!

Prayer: "God, help me to stay in the steps of Christ and not try to create my own path. Help me to simply follow Him"
