Have you ever been on an uncertain trail and didn't know where you were going? It can be unnerving and frustrating. What a difference when we have a good trail map and know the weather is good and the trail is safe-we can enjoy the hike and the beauty nature has to offer. That is just the image the psalmist calls to mind when he writes-"I have chosen the way of truth, I have set my heart on your laws." Choosing God's path puts us on the right path, and also gives us confidence that we are not alone-Christ our Lord travels with us. Therefore, we can "run in the path" for our hearts have been set free! At the beginning of this fall season, let us all give pause and set our course along the path that god would have us travel. Only then will we know the true freedom and love that following God’s plan and purpose for our lives brings.
(verse of the week)
I have chosen the way of truth, I have set my heart on your laws.
I hold fast to your statutes, O Lord; do not let me be put to shame.
I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free (Psalm 119.30-32).
(Prayer of the Week)
Eternal Loving Shepherd, lead us along the paths of life, whether mountain high, or valley low. May we trust your wisdom and guidance. Teach us to trust your guidance in green pastures and to drink from still waters. May we lean on your strength and grace. Quiet our hearts and restore our souls. May we trust your protection and provision, feasting at your table even when enemies threaten. Remind us that your love and strength will be with us even in the darkest valley, in this life and the next, as we journey with you, O Lord Our Rock and Redeemer. Amen.
Open your heart to God’s awesome love—Pastor TJ
