Level Paths

'Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.' Proverbs 4:26 (NIV)
The wise course. The wise counsel. Divine Word. Carry it in my heart. 
In the moral life, it is best to ponder the path. Ponder the course wisely. Make the way straight and smooth. Remove all obstacles that prevent me from going to where God is leading me.
Roads less traveled. Be prepared to have to think. Ask questions. Workflow charts and maps are useful. I should give my life careful thought. Study the paths. Make level. Steady. Not easily moved. Follow Truth. Focus on the feet. Pray. Stay true. Roads to Righteousness.

It's a well lit path. The ways of the righteous are lit. Christ is the Way. Look up. He is Light. 
The ways of the wicked is dark. Darkness is dangerous. It has its appeal for an instant. Those that travel toward sin fall into the sin habit traps.  They don't seem to know how to avoid it.
Pray. Talk to Him. He is Holy. Shun evil. Look straight ahead. Walk by the Word. Heed God's rules. Stay in the Lord's footsteps. Forgive myself, my father and others.
Dear Father
 Thank you for Your Word. Forgive me when I fail You. I commit to pray and to read Your Word daily. I commit to Your promises and to do what it is that You would have me do. I will consider my actions first, before I do them. I see the Providence in that. I will see that my actions agree with Your Principles and Rules. When I do this, I can rest assured that my actions are consistent and that they are good because they are directed by You. They are established by You. When all things in life are considered, I can be sure that You, God are in them and that You will bless them and that they will be successful. Amen.
Thank you for saving my soul.

In Jesus's name.
 Amen.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

To the 7th Degree

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
