Paths

Psalm 16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 119:35
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

How often do I wander from the path? Ask for direction, when I know what to do? Doubt when the way looks unsure?

HE is the answer of course. The Father sent Jesus to show us the Way. The Father and Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. And we have the Word of God in us and written in the Bible if we doubt.

On a trip, we would have a GPS or map or both.

As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit as our GPS. When we are tempted to divert from the straight and narrow, the Voice within us pricks our hearts. IF we listen are attentive or even obedient is our choice.

If we are wise, we turn and go back to the path the Lord has for us. If unwise, we travel down the wrong road, wasting our time or worse.

We also have the map, the Bible. The road map to our lives. What are God's promises? What does He say? Learn to read His map for your pathway travels.

We are not in the dark. We may not see to the end, but we have His Word that lightens our path. We have His promises to see us through.

Step out on the path and look neither to the left or right but to our Father in Heaven, rejoicing that He has provided for us. He has chosen our path and will direct us on our journey.
