The Right Path

Friday night I spoke to Benjamin and Samuel on the phone, William was already tucked in bed. :) Benjamin and I talked about going to the Grand Canyon. Samuel talked about...everything! :) His favorite line right now is "guess what?" So I wanted to play off that line...

Guess what? There are a lot of people looking for the right path.
Many think they have found the right path, and others are trying to get on the right path.
Still more, want to make their own path.
Lastly, there are some that sadly don't care about the path...

So I wondered what does God say about which path we should take, and how to get on it, or back on it as the case may be?

In Psalm 119:105 it says "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." So my first thought is I need the right map to find my way. In this case it is God's Word. This is where many struggle because they don't value God's Word. They want to look to other sources to lead and guide them.

So how do we encourage those that have found their path without the Bible as their map? To be really honest, I'm not sure at this point. I do my best to point them toward God, but the world has so filled their minds with thoughts contrary to this idea it is almost like hitting a brick wall. In fact, many have no need for the Bible or Church. Which amazes me because people are so messed up and say "organized" religion is not necessary.

Then there are those that are so weary and tired from being on their own path they embrace the thought that God may have the answer.

I do know that when the scripture says "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps" Proverbs 16:9
that God is more than aware of our need for direction.

So my prayer is that we will look to Him and His path for our lives.

Many of us think we know which path to take but in the end we find we took a wrong turn and regret where we have ended up.

So, today I pray Lord, lead me and guide my steps that I may follow after you, and If I should start off on the wrong path, guide me back and point me in the right direction. -Selah
