On the Pathway

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

I purchased a book some time back, Passages of Light by Thomas Kinkade. Also on the cover it states, "Selected Scriptures with Reflection by Thomas Kinkade "Painter of Light."" In my room I have a picture of the Legend of the Dogwood Tree given to me as a gift from my daughter because she knew I liked the Dogwood tree.

In deciding what to post this morning these two things came together. In the book Thomas Kinkade has painted a Dogwood tree and the title of the painting is Afternoon Light, Dogwood with the passage 2 Samuel 22:31 "As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. The dogwood tree is planted along a lighted pathway. The pathway is curvy with the light only shining brightly in one spot.

It is so amazing to me that simple things, like trees and cobblestones and birds singing and sunlight and mountains and rain and snow and all of God's creation seem to point to the Creator. How readily we worship these things and are drawn away from the JESUS.

This cobblestoned pathway that we are on which is lined with so many beautiful and fragrant trees and flowers and grasses, is dimly lit for our LORD has made it so. It is then that we have the choice to Trust in His Word.

Oh Sovereign LORD, our shield, praise thee. Oh LORD thank You that Your way is perfect and that the Word of the Lord is proven. Oh most Holy and Righteous LORD, I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that today she would step onto that pathway and begin to Trust that Your way is Perfect and that You are a shield. May she stand firm in her faith and TRUST fully in each step that she takes being assured that You will shine Your perfect light on each step. In Jesus Name, Amen.

On the Pathway
