“Follow me.” The invitation of Jesus that is so simple yet so difficult. Simple because we know what to do, but difficult to actually do it. It’s also difficult because following him means letting go and relinquishing control.

Diving into Psalm 23 and asking some tough questions like that allow us to wrestle with the concept of follow.
