Prayer – Lord, open our eyes that we would clearly see Your path and follow it. Help us guide those around us—especially the younger generation—to follow Your path, too. As always…listening is the key to obedience. Open our ears to hear You loud and clear and may we be alert to make the right choice of obedience…moment by moment. Thank You, Jesus, for Your sacrifice for each of us.

| Can you follow a straight and narrow path? |
Meditate.
What path
are you following?
The land. THE LAND! The land flowing
with milk and honey that the Lord had promised to the Israelites? But they were
already in that land. Is it THE LAND of heaven…a spiritual land? It seems to me
that that is the land to which Solomon is alluding. A place we all want to go
someday…heaven. Stay on the straight and narrow path—the righteous path. God
has plans for us…
'For I know the plans that I have
for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give
you a future and a hope. Jeremiah
29:11 NASB.
"With weeping they will come,
and by supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk by streams of
waters, on a straight path in which they will not stumble; for I am a father to
Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn." Jeremiah 31:9 NASB.
This is
clarified more in the book of Hosea…
Let those who are wise understand
these things. Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the
LORD are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. But in
those paths sinners stumble and fall. Hosea 14:9.
Be wise
and discerning. As always LISTEN. If we don’t listen, we won’t hear the Word of
the Lord—those wise words of wisdom given to us to guide our hearts, thoughts
and mind to do the right—the righteous—thing. Be warned and listen up. Of
course, it is the younger generation that really needs to listen—but it is
never too late for someone to change their ways and follow Jesus. He has done
so much for us. It is a simple act—a choice for each of us to make to follow
Him. Where are you going today?
Verse
of Salvation ~ Repent, all of you who forget me (God), or I will tear you
apart, and no one will help you. But giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly
honors me. If you keep to my path, I will reveal to you the salvation of God. Psalm 50:22-23
Give Thanks to God…Forever
