THE RESTORING BUSINESS

 

Psalm 23:3

 

"He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake." ESV 

 

The Lord not only restores and refreshes our souls, but also provides us with the way that will lead us right to Him. There, we will find perfect peace for eternity. We will not want for anything.

 

Heavenly Father, so often we fail to take notice of the many wonderful things You provide for us and of Your constant grace pouring out on us. Help us to be aware of Your presence and Your working so that we will stay on the path You made for us. In Jesus' name, Amen.

FOLLOW THE LIGHT

 

Proverbs 4:18

 

"But the path of righteousness is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day." ESV

 

Our spiritual growth and maturity is seen in the path we walk. Each step we take toward God, there is an increase in the light to see the path ahead of us. Those who earnestly seek God will see the light and follow it. Those who do not seek God will see different, much less radiant lights, and will follow them into a wilderness of aimless wandering. Following God's light is like the sun rising at dawn. At first it barely lights the day, but with each minute that passes, there is more and more light. Soon the noonday shines, and it's light everywhere.

 

Heavenly Father, help us to keep seeking You and to stay on the path You have set before us. Help us to grow and mature so that Your light will shine bright through us as we take each step, and will help others find the Way. In Jesus' name, Amen.

A MIRACLE IS A MIRACLE

 

Proverbs 5:21

"For your ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all your paths." NIV

"For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings." KJV

We are left astounded when we recall from the Word all the mighty miracles the Lord has done. He provided a sacrifice for Abraham after he placed Isaac on the altar. God parted the sea for His children to cross in safety. He fed thousands of people from a boy's meager lunch. So many great miracles Christ performed while teaching the crowds and people with needs came. What's even more astounding about our God is that He performs miracles for you and for me in our private lives where no one else can see. He loves us that much.

Heavenly Father, how awesome You are! That You would consider each of us in our own lives and work to make things right when we come asking for help is breath taking. Give us hearts of praise and thanksgiving and keep us from overlooking those even quieter miracles You lavish on us every day. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

LEVEL GROUND

 

Isaiah 26:7

The path of the righteous is level; you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth." NIV

"The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just." KJV

Since we live in a cursed world, all humans walk out their lives on paths that are filled with debris and potholes. However, those who are righteous in the eyes of the Lord, who is the only upright one, will smooth out those rough spots and work out the problems so that passage onward will be less of a burden and more of a blessing.

Heavenly Father, we're sorry that we forget that life in this world is difficult and You have told we will have problems here. When we come across stumbling blocks and things that stop our walk, help us to remember that You are with us to make those rough places smooth. You will work out all those tribulations for us, Your righteous ones. In Jesus' name, Amen.

GROWING SPIRITUALLY

Our spiritual growth and maturity is seen in the path we walk. As each
step is taken, there is an increase in the light by which we see the path
ahead. Those who are earnestly seeking God will see the light and follow. It is much like the dawn at sunrise, which barely lights the day, but with each minute that passes, there is more and more light. Soon the noonday sun shines its' light everywhere.

Heavenly Father, help us stay on the path you have set before us. Help us to grow and mature so that Your light will shine through us and bring others to the saving knowledge of Your grace. In Jesus' name.

Read Proverbs 4:18

"The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever
brighter till the full light of day." (NIV)

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and
more unto the perfect day." (KJV)
