THE RIGHT PATH

MY ONLY HOPE

You Lord are my shepherd,
You guard me to keep me safe;
You Lord are my savior,
You pull me out of early graves.

You Lord are my light,
You shine Your love ahead of me;
You Lord are my peace,
You comfort me and heal grief.

You Lord are my strength,
You fill when my heart is weak;
You Lord are my sovereign hero,
You alone are my victory!

You Lord are my forgiveness,
You are my lifelong friend;
Only You are worthy of my trust,
My only hope until the end.

Psalm 23 is an easy psalm to love.  Most Christians count it as one of their favorites. To be sure it covers all the necessities of life. Truth is you cannot love this psalm and not love the shepherd, Yeshua (Jesus) - He's the "You" throughout the whole thing! He's the one whose leading and guiding, saving, protecting, comforting, preparing sustainance, annointing for service (more protection!), and all-around providing the strength we need to move forward from grace to grace until our final destination is in sight. I suggest the reason David began this sheep-song of his with "I shall not want" is because he realized the Lord is everything he needs! Let us delineate the heart and the flesh: the heart is spiritual, the flesh is not.  Trust in the Lord with all your heart, don't lean (bend toward) your own understanding (what you think you know). Acknowledge His leading, follow Him, and the Shepherd of your soul will guide you in safety (the right path). What do you want out of life? How do you expect to get it?  The Bible proposes a fairly simple two-step plan: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Find real peace in Jesus and enjoy!

*THE RIGHT PATH*

Turn to the left,

Turn to the right;

Stand up - Sit down,

Fight!  Fight!  Fight!

Come to Jesus,

Your strength won't last;

Surrender your pride,

Learn how to laugh.

Fall in the dark,

Look for the light;

Fall down - Get up,

Fight!  Fight!  Fight!

Come to Jesus,

Your peace will not last;

Surrender your weary heart,

Laugh!  Laugh!  Laugh!

I THINK

Think on These Things One of the tragic casualties of our age has been that of the contemplative life--a life that thinks, a life thinks things through, and more particularly, thinks God’s thoughts after Him. A person sitting at his or her desk staring out the window would never be assumed to be working. No! Thinking is not equated with work. Yet, had Newton under his tree, or Archimedes in his bathtub, bought into that prejudice, some natural laws would still be up in the air or buried under an immovable rock. Pascal’s Pensees, or Thoughts, a work that has inspired millions, would have never been penned. What is even more destructive is the assumption that silence is inimical to life. The radio in the car, Muzak in the elevator, and the symphony entertaining callers "on hold" all add up as grave impediments to personal reflection. In effect, the mind is denied the privilege of living with itself even briefly and is crowded with outside impulses to cope ...
