“Imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. ”
~I Corinthians 11:1 (AMP)

Something we enjoy doing as a family is playing video games,
specifically, platforming games, which involve much jumping, quick
thinking, and memorization.

Some of the levels get quite difficult because they require you to
memorize where certain things are.
One wrong move and it is game over.

One of the best ways to get past these levels is by watching each
other play, paying close attention to where to jump, when to jump, and
when and where not to.

I love Jesus!

In our walk with Him, He places people in our lives that we can
follow. If we are careful to pay attention to what they do, how they
handle certain situations, the habits they hold, and so forth, it will
greatly help us, providing special insight into certain situations, and
allowing us to gain victory in areas simply because we know what to
do and what not to do.

These people serve as God-given shortcuts!
The Bible serves as a major God-given shortcut. It is chock full
of people that have done both good and evil things from which we
can garner much wisdom, knowing what to do, and what not to do.

Listen, it’s important to realize, however, that God-given
shortcuts never involve compromise.

If the people in our lives are not emulating Jesus, we don’t need
to and shouldn’t follow them.

However, be thankful for the ones who are!

Be encouraged today! Take an assessment of the people in your
life right now. Who are the ones who are perhaps further ahead in
an area that you are struggling in? What can you learn from them?

Don’t worry; a close walk with Jesus will keep us away from
compromise.

We are not on this journey alone. We are the Body of Christ.

Who can you learn from today?
