“Path to Life”

 Psalm 25:4, 5

Show me Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.  Lead me

in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation.  (NKJ)

     This psalm from thousands of years ago is a plea for deliverance—a plea that should be on every lip and in every heart of every person—a plea that has been answered, because our God and Savior left the glory of heaven and delivered us from the fate of this fallen world.  The Living God came to show us  the path of Truth that leads to life—the only path that gives us eternal hope and encouragement while living in a world that hates the Word of God.  Within the written pages of the Bible are God inspired words that are absolute in their truth, without error, and never change--revelations that our infinite God has so graciously shared with us.  We learn why the world hates its Creator who came to us in a human body so He could give His life and shed His perfect blood as the final sacrificial Lamb of God.  When we know and believe the Truth, we can make the right decisions that will not only save us from the final wrath of God, but will give our lives moral purpose and eternal value.  In other words, the Lord has given us the Map that will leads us back to God and eternal life. 

     When you humbly surrender your life to the Lord and accept the blood of Christ as the atonement for all your sins, you will receive the Holy Spirit as your guide, paving the path that will take you on an amazing life-journey unlike anything this hate-filled world could ever offer.  When you began to learn who this amazing God is and all the glorious plans He has for His people, it will became quite apparent that it is far better to trust in God’s Way rather than the world’s way, for I, like many others, had chosen the ways of the world that left me empty and depressed.  The only real promise that this world can deliver is trouble and death.  There is absolutely no One more qualified to lead you in the Truth than the omnipotent Creator who is the Truth.  And there is no One that cares more about your future than the One who created you.  Don’t follow the world and its empty promises; follow the Living God, Jesus Christ who paved the path to life for you. 

                                          A Whisper of Hope

I came to light the path, dear child…that leads to life.  You no longer need to live in darkness nor follow the paths that lead nowhere.  Life on this earth will never be without struggle or pain or void of uncertainty and disappointment, but if you step into the Light, you will find the path to life.

Psalm 16:11

You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is

fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.  (NKJ)

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

                                 (Psalm 119:105)
