Holding On
Each day that we have opportunity to be a part of God’s creation and plan. If we take the time to connect with God early through prayer and praise, we can find out what He is doing that day so that we can join in with Him. The issue that I know that I face, and that I think others may also face, is I have a way I think things should go. I see a certain path that may make me feel more comfortable and that is what I hope the day is about. This morning as I was thinking about that path, I had to ask myself why that path was preferred by me.
The truth seems to be that I saw that path as the answer. It was my focus. It was the path that my mind’s reasoning said had stability to it. The truth is it does not. There is only one truly stable path, and that is God’s path because He upholds it. Anything else is just something that we are doing on our own. When the two cross, we are blessed. I want to get to the place where each day when I wake, throughout the day, and before I lay my head down at night, I am certain I am on God’s path. On that path there can be no failure, regardless of the ups and downs, because God never fails. I was encouraged reading Psalms 93 today. Perhaps you will be as well.
Psalms 93:1 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4 The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever.
Prayer
Father, we praise you as the Most High. You are the Ruler of heaven and earth. Rule today Father and bring judgement for Your people against the evil of this world. Please raise us up today God. Please show us Your way and Your path that we may dwell there and traverse that path with You. Help us to see rightly, Father. Help us to see as You see. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
