This Way…#Psalm119:1-4

“You’re blessed when you stay on course,

walking steadily on the road revealed by God.

You’re blessed when you follow his directions,

doing your best to find him.

That’s right- you don’t go off on your own,

You walk straight along the road he set.

You God prescribed the right way to live…”

(Psalm119:1-4MSG)

God’s way…it’s not for the faint hearted. I’ve wanted to quit. I thought it easier to entertain my own ambitions. And they weren’t bad ambitions. They were just MY ambitions.

But then I’m reminded that when I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior, I exchanged my life. I surrendered it. My life is no longer mine. I’ve acknowledged a greater story.

And this Story has a path set out for me. For you. That’s right…a path prepared, since the foundation of this earth. Hard to grasp in my finite mind.

There have been many paths that seemed right but led to the death of my mind. My spirit and my soul.

 But God’s way …it’s a way paved with love. A way filled with grace pits. A way guarded by mercy rails.

 A way  leading to healing. wholeness. wisdom.

A way of life. 

 Life ever-lasting. Life that keeps on giving. Life that fulfills.

And on this path, our lives are at the mercy of His leading.  On this path, there are imperishable treasures found in each step. They don’t fade, nor do they rot.

God’s way. We are blessed when we seek to walk on it. To stay on it. To share it.

God’s way.  It’s not for the faint hearted. Oh, but it’s so worth it.

Keep at it.
