The Path: Certainty / Uncertainty #devotion

The path is long

fraught with stumbles and turns

bruises and bumps

but from each step we learn

The way is unclear

the gravel beneath

cuts and convicts

throwing us on our knees

The trail always upward

I wipe my brow

knowing there’s a finish

I know the way for now

 

Do you take steps in life that you wish you could re-do? Do you find yourself in unfamiliar settings wondering how you got off course? Life is a journey of uncertainty but we have a master who holds the compass lovingly beckoning us to the next turn of our quest.

 

 

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Proverbs 3:6

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Matthew 7:13

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.

Narrow is the way #devotion

 desire to walk ground holy

feet caress  verdant grass

truth is for the taking

but there’s no way you can guess

wide open are the fields

the way you might traverse

but narrow is the passage

I’ve read it in a verse

your way in life is guided

there is a path to choose

pick your way now wisely

for eternity you can lose

He truly  is the way

The Father  he has deemed

our sinful wretched lives

through His are remade clean

“All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.…

John 10:8-10
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”

John 14:6

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.”
Matthew 7:13
