Johnny Cash wasn’t a perfect man and never pretended he was. Perhaps you could follow Johnny Cash’s example and use a color that tells the world that you dance to the beat of your drum. On top of that, he never apologized for his relationship with God and for needing His guidance. Perhaps we should follow Solomon’s example and “fear God and keep His commandments.” Fearing God gives Him the place He deserves in our lives. He chose to give the beggar His undivided attention and showed him kindness. The John R. Cash Revocable Trust joined with Dayspring Books to release a distinctive devotional titled Walking the Line: 90 Devotions of Truth and Hope Based on the Faith of Johnny Cash. Johnny’s son, John Carter Cash, says that faith was essential in his father’s life, saying, “When he was faced with adversaries and struggles, he always went back to faith. He could go back to faith no matter what he went through in life, and it was a certainty, a surrounding cloud of purpose.” He knows that we want to fight our negative side when it has us in its clutches. Johnny Cash didn’t have an easy life, and he stumbled, just as any other believer has done. In the most unexpected ways, He chose to love even when those around Him didn’t. For example, when the people of Jericho disregarded the blind beggar and tried to silence him, Jesus responded differently. After an honorable discharge from the military in 1954, Cash and his wife moved to Memphis, Tennessee, hoping to sign a recording contract at Sun Records. Eventually, Cash got an audition with producer Sam Phillips. When he landed the audition, he sang gospel records, but Phillips didn’t produce gospel records anymore. Born in Kingsland, Arkansas, Cash listened to gospel music and radio as a child.
