Where He Leads OR Two Rats

Went hiking today and saw something on the Appalachian Trail I've never seen before.  There was a tent set up with a large animal cage out front.  Further up the trail I met the guy camping there.  After some conversation he told me about the critters.

 

In the cage were two domesticated rats.  I was curious why any backpacker would carry such a large load.  He said that when he hikes, the rats are out of the cage and hike along with him.  Where he led, the rodents followed.

 

Are you as smart as a rat?  In other words, do you follow where Christ leads you?  If you are a follower of Jesus, well, that's exactly what we are supposed to do.  Let's use this week, and this life to do so.

 

ps. As a backpacker, I still wouldn't carry the extra weight of even a folded up animal cage.  When you're out in the back country, to each his own I guess!
