There is a symmetry to this picture. These aspen lean to the right probably because of prevailing winds. But notice the one oddball tree, the one to the left of center that for some reason leans to the left.
So which of these trees best represents your life?
Your answer to that question probably depends on the situation. You might be known for going with the group in most situations. But when it comes to your family, you're the oddball.
"If you have no desire to worship the LORD, choose today whom you will worship, whether it be the gods whom your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But I and my family will worship the LORD!" Joshua 24:15 New English Translation
Talk about leaning in the opposite direction.
It might not be culturally acceptable to worship the Lord, but that is what we do. It might be easier to lean with society, but worshiping the Lord is what we do.
Worshiping God is what we do because Jesus leaned against culture by living his sinless life, submitting to the cross and rising from the dead.
It's time for you and me to be known as "the one" in the group.
