So ponder the path you've chosen for your feet.

I need direction for so many things right now.

As father and husband. As Mission Board chairman. As a School Board member. As a church member. As a businessman. As a potential short-term missionary. As a potential teacher. As a friend.

I need to know the right path.

And I need lots and lots of light.

This morning I feel subdued and dark. And in the dark. And certainly uncertain.

Also this morning, I read this verse:

“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18).

The enemy scoffs, “No light obviously means you’re not just.”

Nevetheless, I find comfort and hope and encouragement in that verse.

A little bit more from Proverbs 4: My Sayings (?)

God delivers His people from it. (Or yearns to, anyway.)
Reading:

Psalm 147

God’s thoughts are higher than ours. Of our own intellect and wisdom, we cannot generate such thoughts and perspectives as His. Neither can we know His ways of living and doing things.

We can no more know His thoughts and ways than an amoeba or a monkey can know ours.

Unless.

Unless He chooses to tell us His thoughts.

“He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 147:20).

So many people do not know His judgments. They don’t know His thoughts. They don’t know His points of view. They don’t know His ways.

But His people do!

Because He chose to let them know.

Praise the Lord!
