Guide My Feet

God is guiding us into our purpose.

walking feetTrust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.   Proverbs 3:5-6 (New Living Translation)

Guide my feet, while I run this race – cause I don’t want to run this race in vain.  On life’s journey we have to make many decisions. Each step of the way, we are compelled to ask God to direct our steps based on His will for our lives.  This scripture and the words to this old spiritual are recognition of the importance of God’s leading in our lives.  Even though we may be tempted or convinced to do what we feel is right in our hearts, if it is not aligned with God’s word or His direction, we must think again.  Yielded to His will, we are able to make Godly decisions…

First Light

4 08 2016

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Psalm 143:8

another sunriseIn the early morning, before the city fully awakens there is blessed quietness. The sun has yet to rise and only the birds are celebrating that a new day has begun. It’s a perfect time to sit and meditate about God’s goodness. God is good and God is great. The gift of mercies is renewed with a new day. I can begin again with a refreshed mind and spirit. So many things happened yesterday and the days before but with first light I gain new perspective, new direction and new courage to forge ahead. I can take this quiet time of gratitude and praise into the rest of my day. I can carry this peace through the hustle and bustle that will come in later hours. I can maintain my joy and seek to spread it to others remembering the blessing of first light.

 

 





It’s Ahead

3 08 2016

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.  Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.  Philippians 3:13-15

My goal is ahead.  It is in front of me and not in what happened last year, last week or even yesterday.  My goal is in front.  I have to keep pressing. Even when I am tired, God is faithful to renew my strength.  When my vision becomes murky about what is important, God provides clarity.  When I am not sure about next steps, the Holy Spirit is faithful to direct my path.  So I keep pressing. I will do my part to be faithful to God’s calling.  I will keep my heart encouraged and focused.  I will keep striving for the goal ahead.

 So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it. Philippians 3:15-16 MSG

Speak Life

27 07 2016

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.  Proverbs 18:21

What we say and think are powerful influences in our lives.  Every day we have to choose whether to say what we think or what God says about the situations in our lives.  Our thoughts are often limited by our human understanding but genuine revelation comes from God. My pastor has asked what the world would be like if God’s people were consistently and constantly speaking God’s words.  What an outpouring of love, concern,  peace and hope would be evident throughout the world.  Speak His words and speak life.
