THE WALK



This picture is very special to me.  I spent many days walking along this road when I was but a mere youth.  I had learned to ride my bike on this road.  The field to the left of the picture, I had spent many winter days ice skating.  Further up the road, I had spent much time poking in the stream looking for salamanders.  Once, at the edge of the woods to the right, I all but ran into a black bear. He was busy munching on some leaves and I was frozen in fear. I finally managed to scream and he ran.

Most importantly, on this road is where I would go to enjoy the presence of God.  No one ever taught me how to do this, I just knew He was there.

Remember your special place where "Righteousness went before you and set you in the way of His steps."

Claim His Promise


That verse up there, it is true.  It is for you to take.  Go ahead, claim it, expect it.  Expect good things to come your way.  I am sure many good things have already come your way.  Count them, name them one by one.
  
Sure, there are a few bumps in the road.  Maybe even ditches that were unexpected and hard to climb out of.  That ditch you fell in wasn't from the True God.  The fact you got out of that ditch, that was from Him.

  It is only when we forget about Him and don't expect Him to be working in our lives that things go sour.  That is not what He wants for us.  He is waiting for us to turn to Him.  He will not force himself on us.  He has given us free will.

He is really patient.

Yeah, the Lord shall give that which is good...
