You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
Do you ponder the path of life? Or do you live your life aimlessly wandering with no set destination or goal?
She does not ponder the path of life; her ways are unstable, she does not know it. Proverbs 5:6.
But you have a path of life that is there for you to follow. It is an amazing adventure filled with good deeds and good things.
Who is the man who desires life and loves days filled with good? Psalm 34:12.
And I will make it known to you if you will come to Me to receive guidance thereon.
You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11.
Paths. A path is a route, way, course, or track along which something moves, but it also signifies a course of action, conduct, or procedure. Your path is your lifestyle and whether you realize it or not you are walking it out day by day and you are on a journey. And that journey will end in life or in death. Eternally. This is serious but it is also your joy if you will enter the way of life. It is an amazing highway where those walk with purpose and direction as the redeemed.
A highway will be there, a roadway, and it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, but it will be for him who walks that way, and fools will not wander on it. No lion will be there, nor will any vicious beast go up on it; these will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of the LORD will return and come with joyful shouting to Zion, with everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 35:8-10.
Paths take you places and are there to help you make your journey without hindrance. You make the choice of what path you follow. And there are only two paths, one to life and one to death. Which one are you on?
There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. Proverbs 12:14; Proverbs 6:25.
There is a path of life and there is a path of death. Life abundant is on the path of life. On the path of death your life is stolen, killed, and destroyed. And you are the one who determines the path you are on. Do not be foolish and misled through life. Be wise, especially by knowing whom you are being led by.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. John 10:10-11.
Your ways are always before Me and I watch all your paths. And that is a good thing for I am absolute goodness, there is no shadow, darkness, or evil in Me. I want to fill your life with good things and perfect gifts and free your feet from the snare.
My eyes are continually toward the LORD, for He will pluck my feet out of the net. Psalm 25:15.
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; the snare is broken and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124:6-8.
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust!” For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. Psalm 91:2-4
And that is why I give you a great good Shepherd to lead you in paths of righteousness for My Name’s sake and to green pastures and healing waters of peace. It is the place of grace. The place of shalom peace. A place of joy.
“For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.” Revelation 7:17.
Have you ever asked Me to show you the path of life? If you are interested in seeing good days it is time that you did. For these days are evil and you do not have a second to waste. You have a journey to make and a path to take.
The path of life leads upward for the wise that he may keep away from hell below. Proverbs 15:24.
There was a man that sought Me above all else, his name was David, and he sang about Me as his good Shepherd who led him on right paths that brought him to green pastures, restful waters, and through dark valleys of the shadow of death to a table of plenty and then right into the abundance of My house where there are delights and treasure beyond measure all there for you, now and forever. There is no end to the wonderful goodness I have prepared for those who love Me. It is time you tapped into it and stopped following other shepherds. If you know My Word you will not follow the voice of the stranger.
This is the way of those who are foolish, and of those after them who approve their words. Selah. As sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall rule over them in the morning, and their form shall be for Sheol to consume so that they have no habitation. But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for He will receive me. Psalm 49:13-15.
Now, I want to introduce you to how to seek and find the path of life. For that is merely walking with Me constantly. Like Enoch. Like Joseph. Like Moses. Like Joshua. And I could go on.
To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. O my God, in You I trust.” Psalm 25:1.
And this is how to live, with your eyes and heart above where Christ is seated at My right hand for He is the Light of the world and I have shone My Light in your heart so that you may live in newness of life, for no follower of His will ever walk in darkness but will have the light of life. And the light of life renews and restores you constantly has the blood of Jesus continually cleanses you of all unrighteousness. And the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn that gets brighter and brighter as you walk along until the full light of day. The path of life is the path of light.
Make me know Your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. Psalm 25:4.
This prayer is filled with wisdom’s light. My ways are higher than your ways because I am above and not beneath but when you put your faith in Jesus, you died with Him to sin and I raised you with Him and seated you above with Him at My right hand, you too, in your spirit, and that is where true sight is, are above and not beneath. But though your spirit is raised, your body is not yet, so you are very much in the world, though not of the world. Let Me teach you My paths so you can always be walking with Me and I with you. That is when your life will become sweet. My Blessing makes rich and adds no sorrow with it.
All life is from Me and lives with Me—a continuum of life. But as in any continuum the closer you are to the center the more like the center you become, the farther you go to the edges, the less like the center you become. Stay close to Me and in My presence there is nothing but pure full joy, light, and love. And that is the path of life. And in that path is perfect protection. That is the path of Psalm 91. But let us continue with the prayer of Psalm 25, which you would do well to meditate on your own.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all the day. Psalm 25:5.
By My Spirit I lead and guide you to all truth. Be led. And My Spirit teaches you all things and reminds you of all I said. But here the prayer is for Me to lead you in My truth, teach you, for I am the God of your Salvation. Of your Yeshuah. Jesus is salvation in every situation. And He is your teacher. And He is THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. He is your path of life for I promised you eternal life and that life is in My Son.
Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses, for they have been from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your lovingkindness remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O LORD. Psalm 25:5-7.
If you have a problem with forgiving yourself of your past sins and think I am upset with you, then this is a good prayer for you. Let Me treach you the truth and guide you to all truth by My Spirit in you and on you. And My Spirit testifies to your spirit that your sins and offenses I remember NO more. I am the God of your Salvation. I only see you in the light of My love, in My lovingkindness.
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in justice, and He teaches the humble His way. Psalm 25:8-9.
If you have sinned, repent and come to Me and I will show you the way to go. I will show you the path to life and the delights at My right hand forever. Humility goes before riches and honor. Humble people are willing to learn and not have to have it all their way.
But what do My paths look like for each one of you? Lovingkindness (grace and mercy) and truth (My Word).
All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth to those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. Psalm 25:10.
When you walk in the truth, your soul prospers. Your soul consists of your mind, your will and your emotions and when these are all at peace and in the light, your life is one of delight. No torment, no fear, no strife—just pure abundant life. Prosperity and peace.
For Your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great. Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the way he should choose. His soul will abide in prosperity, and his seed will inherit the land. The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, and He will make them know His covenant. My eyes are continually toward the LORD, for He will pluck my feet out of the net. Psalm 25:11-15.
Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith and you will always have a place where you belong in My house forever. Just follow your good and gracious Shepherd who laid down His life for you so you could live free from the encumbrance of sin and who was raised up for your justification and glorification to My right hand in Heaven even now. You are redeemed. I love you. You qualify for the Highway of Holiness. Isn’t it time you joined the triumphal procession to the heavenly Zion, the church of the firstborn? Hebrews 12:22-24. Ponder your path.
Let your eyes look directly ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of your feet and all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left; turn your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:25-27.
