Sometimes music makes me sway from side to side.  A line dance I know calls for one step forward followed by one step back.  On the basketball court, I watch a forward with the ball feint to one side and then drive ahead on the other side to the basket.  When I am sailing against the wind, I have to tack, first one way and then the other in order to move forward.  These rhythms remind me of my life with God.  I want always to be near to God, to follow Jesus like a shadow and walk in his footsteps.  Only then, something distracts me, or I try to follow the steps of another human being, or I think I need to fake it to avoid confrontation, or I plan a path of alternating direction.  I abandon the love that binds me to my Savior and I wander away.  Thank God that in his never-failing love, Jesus calls me to turn back, and helps me to see how I have fallen away, and leads me gently in the right path.  Without Jesus, I would be lost.
