The Pathway of Holiness
(NIV) Psalm 16:11 You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
(NIV) Psalm 119:104 I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Have you considered lately all that God has promised us?
- Joy
- Freedom from anxiety
- Peace
- Salvation
- Righteousness
On most golf courses you are restricted to staying on the cart path in the winter or when there has been an abundance of rain. Once I ventured out of my cart to find a ball from an errant shot. I stepped onto ground that was much wetter than I realized and suddenly my leg was thigh deep in a bog.
Visions of quicksand from all of those Tarzan movies I had seen in my youth flashed through my mind. I yelled for help and my husband pulled me from the muck.
I have often talked about the pathway of holiness. You know the one. The straight and narrow path that leads to righteousness.
When we step off of the pathway we can believe the ground is solid but instead find ourselves sinking in the cares and temptations of this world.
May we follow closely the pathway marked by God, walking in the footprints of those saints gone on before us.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
