Respond
Who do you follow and allow to lead you? What company do you keep around you? Have you unknowingly fallen into a trap of reflecting the attitudes and actions of a ‘blind’ person instead of Jesus? His truth is clear – as we are taught by Jesus, we will become more like Him. Pray now that God would help you discern who you are following. Ask Him to continue to mold you more into the image of Jesus as you spend time with Him and are taught by Him.
