OUR PATH
Today's reading: Psalm 21-23

"He restores my soul; He leads me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake." Psalm 23:3 NKJV

The path we're called to walk as a Christian is said to be the straight and narrow.

Straight to God.

Narrow in its way.

We have been told the lie, sold the untruth, led to believe and determined for ourselves that our path should be, as His children, rosey, bright, easy and comfortable.

That's not what my Bible tells me!

He restores my soul--gives me strength, encourages me for a journey, issues me marching orders for which I'll need restoration.

He leads me in the path of righteousness--not ease, not without effort, not always uphill, but always toward righteousness.

For His glory--not our own. Not to showcase our strengths. Not to highlight our abilities. Not to allow us to boast. Not always what we think we can even handle.

So this morning I'm accepting His restoration. I'm soaking in His encouragement. I'm filling up on His promises. I'm allowing myself to be encouraged by His Words...and I'm walking, one step at a time in the direction I believe He has laid out before me. Straight towards Him!
