His Way

Good Morning!  God has His best in store for us today!

Be encouraged today and know that His eye is on your every step. No matter where your foot (in life) is positioned, no matter your pace, or leverage – know that more of us are being controlled by Him than we think.  We pray and ask Him to have His way and He does.  The confusion comes (“Lord are you with me?”) because His paths are often not ones we think He would choose. He has truly proven not to be a God that leads His people down the easy road.  Whether it is a desert or a sea, a test that demands we wait years, or a request for a sacrifice unimaginable, we are still in the process of learning “His Way.”  Stay encouraged in your hearts!  Some of you may be on a strange unknown path today, but God is with us…and believe it or not, it will eventually end.

On 53rd Street in Centerville we had to walk every day down this path which we called simply, “The Alley”.  During the warm months it seemed short and fun.  We would be laughing, kicking rocks, and plucking the daisies; however, walking that same direction during the winters was torturous.  Snow blowing in your face – wind pounding your body.  Every once in a while you peek ahead to see how much farther you had to go (which seemed like forever!).  The encouragement was knowing that the path would eventually end.  Our storms in life will too. None of His tough selected paths for us last forever. Whew! Isn’t that good to know? So, just spiritually bundle up and keep striding – Spring is coming!

Psalm 37
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

We’ve Prayed For You.
