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.

[Ponder the path of thy feet (Proverbs 4:26)]

Reading:
Psalm 127

“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain” (1).

The builder and the watchman must still do their parts.

The husband and father must still do his part.

The wife and mother must still do her part.

With the Lord.

Or the building and the watching will be in vain.

The Lord will be faithful in that which corresponds to Him.

Will I?

I haven’t been, always. I regret that. My heart breaks over that. And over those affected by my failure.

But all is not lost!

The question now is, Will I be faithful from this point forward?

Because I can redeem what’s left of my stewardship!

With the Lord.

So help me, God.

PS: This morning’s computer wallpaper is one I’ve decided not to post to the Web. It is an old scanned photo of our three youngest children (I couldn’t find one quickly of all five children) with this piece of verse 4: “as arrows are in the hands of a mighty man.” Young parents, form your arrows well and aim them carefully!
