Pathway, Part 1

Psalm 16:11
You will show me the pathway of life.

Psalm 25:4,5
Show me Your ways.
Teach me Your paths.
Guide, lead me in Your truth and faithfulness.
Teach me. You are the God of my salvation (deliverance, protection, health, wealth, well-being, wholeness).

Psalm 25:10
All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth to me who keeps His Word.

Proverbs 16:3
I have confidence in, trust in You, Lord, with all my heart.
I don’t rely on my own insight or understanding.
In all my ways I recognize, know, acknowledge You.
And You shall direct and make plain my path.

God will show us the pathway to travel while we are here on this earth; He will show us every step. He already has it mapped out. The trip is planned. He has given us a direction finder—the Bible—to know the way. The Holy Spirit is our guide to interpret the direction finder. God thinks of everything, doesn’t He!

We make the choice of the pathway, either the one He shows us (the path of life) or the opposite one (the path of death). In Deuteronomy 30:19,20, we read that God sets before us life and death. We are to choose life and blessing. When we choose life, we have wonderful results on our pathway of life. We and our seed will live. We are able to love the Lord our God. We are able to obey His voice. We are able to cleave to Him. HE IS OUR LIFE AND THE LENGTH OF OUR DAYS.

From these four scriptures we realize that God is the One Who shows us the pathway in which to walk. We see His Truth and His faithfulness on this pathway. We see mercy and lovingkindness on His pathway. He is there to lead us and guide us in His truth and faithfulness. He is there to teach us. There is once again a choice. His path is plain to those who keep His Word. He directs us in His path as we recognize, know Him intimately and acknowledge Him in all our ways. The key to walking the right pathway of the Lord is staying close to Him and His Word all the time. His Word is the GPS for our trip.

Whatever your question on the trip, ask the Holy Spirit. He will show you the right direction from the Word. Do you need healing on this trip? He will show you the right direction. Do you need relationships mended? He will show you the right direction. Do you need finances to pay your bills? He will show you the right direction. However, once the Holy Spirit shows you the direction from the Word of God, listen to Him and do it His way. Don’t think you have come up with a better way. He knows what is ahead on that pathway. He knows the best route. Trust Him and go ahead. You will like the trip.

Let’s meditate on these scriptures today and we will finish the teaching tomorrow.
