Are you a fan of anything? It may be a sports team, or a performer, or an actor, or maybe a place or a particular food. I am a fan of many things. Now, I don't go all out and get crazy about things but there are things that I like. I am a fan of good people accomplishing good things. It is always nice to see good people rewarded for their hard work.
I also notice, from time to time, that we follow things that aren't good for us either. We seem attracted to people that we really shouldn't follow. Maybe it is the appeal of someone going against the grain, or maybe it is just intriguing to see someone risking it all for no apparent good reason. I know people who stalk others on social media, then, claim that they don't actually like that person. So, why follow them so closely?
Today's word is just something I stumbled across that reminds me that what I follow, I am a fan of: "If you don't like someone or something, yet, you keep up with everything they do, you're a fan."
Before we go any further, please know that I love everyone, and I mean everyone. I want to see everyone come to know JESUS personally and go to Heaven for eternity. But, I also know there are certain others that I should pray for but not spend my time trying to keep up with everything they do. I have enough in my own life to keep me busy; I don't need to follow the debauchery and deceit in others'.
We are all fans of something or someone. I pray we are focusing our attention and our time on those things dearest to us and that we choose not to waste another minute trying to keep up with others' misfortunes. If you are following it, you're a fan.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
