the way everlasting
11Jul08
Psalm 139.23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Jeremiah 6.16 This is what the LORD says: Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.
John 16.13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
Isaiah 30.21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
These verses remind me of how I feel when I go past a power line corrider (i.e. http://www.wingsoverga.com/uploads/PantherCreekTrailPowerLineCut.jpg)
I know they’re just man made paths, but I love how they’re so wide and clear, they make me just want to run and follow them. There’s no question where the path leads. You don’t have to wonder, you could just run!
I run in the path of your commandments, for you have set my heart free. Psalm 119:32
This part stuck out to me reading this, this time around.
“for He will not speak on His own authority,”
The Spirit does not speak of his own authority, but on the authority of the Father. That’s so cool. It gets back into that idea of us having our own relationship with Father God. I love it.
Lead me in the way I am to go Lord Jesus!
great, great and great!
