SANCTUARY by David Jeremiah
February 24
IN HIS STEPS
1 Peter 2:21
To this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps.
After supper one evening, we decided to stroll along the beach to the boardwalk, about twenty blocks away. I remember pointing out to the children that they ought to be careful where they walked. We were barefoot and could easily step on broken shells or those horrid jellyfish.
Since my gait is usually about twice as fast as anyone else's, I was walking out in front of the rest of the family. Suddenly I sensed that someone was immediately behind me. The crunch of feet, not my own, was audible and I looked over my shoulder to see one small son stretching to put his feet in the very footprints I was leaving in the sand. I guess he felt that the only way he could be sure that he avoided broken shells, jellyfish, and crabs was to step exactly where his father was stepping.
What a lesson I learned that day! Sometimes as I walk through the debris of this world, I shudder to think of all the spiritual jellyfish, broken shells, and crabs that lie in the path. There is no certain way to avoid these pitfalls apart from the steps of our heavenly Leader.
