Christmas Concert

Follow after faith (1 Timothy 6:11).  How does one follow after faith?

Let's say I have been invited by a friend to a Christmas performance at a community center in a nearby town.   We have different commitments after the concert so we have to take two cars.  Since I have never been to the community center, I agree to follow her in my car.  I make the same turns as she does.  I stop when she stops.  I keep close to the same speed as she does, until we arrive at our destination.

It is a simple illustration but it makes the point.  To follow faith is to make choices that reflect
my trust that God knows what he is doing when I do not know the outcome.
