WALK WITH ME along paths of trust. The most direct route between point A and point B on your life-journey is the path of unwavering trust in Me. When your faith falters, you choose a trail that meanders and takes you well out of your way. You will get to point B eventually, but you will have lost precious time and energy. As soon as you realize you have wandered from your trust-path, look to Me and whisper, “I trust You, Jesus.” This affirmation will help you get back on track.

The farther you roam along paths of unbelief, the harder it is to remember that I am with you. Anxious thoughts branch off in all directions, taking you farther and farther from awareness of My Presence. You need to voice your trust in Me frequently. This simple act of faith will keep you walking along straight paths with Me. Trust in Me with all your heart, and I will make your paths straight.

Scriptures to read: Isaiah 26:4; Psalm 9:10; Psalm 25:4-5; Proverbs 3:5-6

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing

praise to my God while I have my being.

How does one walk with God? We must decide to take the paths God walks and would have us walk. This means we need to learn God’s way and will. Then we need to choose the paths in life that keep us closest to God’s way.

When we decide to take a path other than the one God proscribes, we experience the false illusion of separation from God. While we can never be truly separated from God, our self-induced blindness makes us feel and act as if we are in the dark, alone and apart from God.

This illusion, while false does cause us to live in an illusory world we create, rather than the real Eden which surrounds us and was created for us. All we need is “just a closer walk with thee”.

Tracking with trust,
