“Follow the rabbi, drink in his words, and be covered with the dust of his feet,” an ancient Jewish proverb says.  Back in Jesus’ day, students of a rabbi would follow him around and in order to be sure they didn’t miss anything important that the rabbi said, they’d have to stick close behind him…in other words, one would end up covered in his dust for having stayed so close to the rabbi while walking on the dry desert roads of the Holy Land.

My prayer is that I spend my life following along so closely to Jesus that I may be covered in His dust…
