The Chosen Path
“Then
Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.”
— 2 Samuel 18:23
Running Is Not Everything
Consider The Path
There is much
to be said for the path we select. A swift foot over hill and down dale will not keep pace
with a slower traveler upon level ground.
Ponder the
path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Proverbs 4:26
Your
Spiritual Journey
Are you
laboring up the hill of your own works and down into the ravines of your own thinking, or
do you run by the plain way of “Believe and live?”
Thou wilt
shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are
pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11
Teach me
to do thy will, for thou art my God! Let thy good spirit lead me on a level path! Psalm
143:10
He who
heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof goes astray. Proverbs
10:17
It is blessing to
walk with the Lord in faith!
Jesus Christ is Our Plain
A Pleasant
Way
A pleasant
way, a way suitable for the stumbling feet and feeble knees of trembling sinners.
Jesus said,
Jesus saith
unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
Thy word
is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 119:105
The Way of Holiness
We read of
the way of holiness, that the wayfaring man, though a fool, shall not err therein.
And an
highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean
shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall
not err therein. Isaiah 35:8
We do not
know the way of holiness on our own.
We have great
difficulty remembering the way of holiness when trouble rears its ugly head.
Teach me
thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a level path, because of mine enemies. Psalms 27:11
Pride And
Arrogance
Have you been
delivered from your own proud reason?
If so, by
God’s grace, you will outrun the swiftest runner who chooses any other path.
The way of
the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is a level
highway. Proverbs 15:19
It is our wisest
course to go at once to God, and not to wander in a roundabout manner to other sources.
