The Path of Life

“God will show me the path of life.” (Psalm 16:11)

When we leave the wide path that leads to destruction onto the narrow path we “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).  We look ahead and can see hills, valleys, turns, a desert, a wilderness, a sea, and even see mountains in the distance. We stand in awe and think of how beautiful it all looks.

We aren’t sure where the path is leading us but know, “God will instruct me and teach me in the way I should go. He will guide me with His eye” (Psalm 32:8).

As we go up and down hills we can rest assured He won’t take us to anything we aren’t ready for. He will tell us the way, where to turn (Isaiah 48:17), and order our steps (Psalm 37:23) as we seek after Him and grow through each step.

So as you journey on the path of life, just remember that He is with you every step of the way leading, guiding, protecting, and providing. Make sure you take moments to enjoy the view around you, smell the roses along the path, and talk to the One who travels with you.
