The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 12:15 (HCSB)
A fool's way is right in his own eyes, but whoever listens to counsel is wise.
Proverbs 12:26 (HCSB)
A righteous man is careful in dealing with his neighbor, but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.
Proverbs 12:28 (HCSB)
There is life in the path of righteousness, but another path leads to death.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 37:23-24 (HCSB)
23 A man's steps are established by the Lord, and He takes pleasure in his way. 24 Though he falls, he will not be overwhelmed, because the Lord holds his hand.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Psalm 118:8 (HCSB)
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
Job 23:11-12 (HCSB)
11 My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept to His way and not turned aside. 12 I have not departed from the commands of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily food.
My observation:
The choice words for today are "God's way". This is the only way that will get you safely to the place that the bible calls heaven. Who could mind the journey if the road leads to the Father's house? It lifts my spirits and blesses my soul when I think about what Jesus said to his disciples before returning to his Father's home.
John 14:2-6 (HCSB)
2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am going away to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also. 4 You know the way {to} where I am going." 5 "Lord," Thomas said, "we don't know where You're going. How can we know the way?" 6 Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
If you are a Christ follower, don't make a single step on your journey without seeking the will and the way of God. If you delight in the Lord, he will direct your path, and if you trust in him, and follow him, Jesus will surely deliver you to his Father's home.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I praise and thank you for the solid rock that is Jesus, and that I can trust in him with my whole heart, and know that I will arrive safely at Your home. Father, I have decided to follow Jesus, and I have come too far to turn around now.
