Psalm 1:6, "The Lord Knows the Way of the Righteous, but the way of the Ungodly shall perish." We see ourselves sinking in our lives - but we still have the ability to choose and discern between the hindering, dead-end road or the one that will get us quickly to our destination. The Lord knows the Way .......he creates a way where there appears to be no way. We discern only through meditation day and night on the Word. (Psalm 1:2) "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night."
Oh, but you say, "I'm between a rock and a hardplace. There is no obvious right path to follow." 1 Samuel 14:4. Jonathan, son of Saul, was between the passes before he and his armor bearer could go over to the Philistines' garrison on the other side. There was a sharp rock on one side and a sharp rock on the other side. Jonathan climbed up on his hands and knees with his armor bearer after him, and then the Philistines fell. Prayer opened up God's Way, and He gave Jonathan a sign for victory - "Come up after me." Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all things will be added.
Lord, save me; Lord, Create a way for me....Lord, Send me a sign....Lord, have mercy on me.
If we find ourselves paying more attention to the advice of those who do not believe in God than of those who fear Him and we behave more like unbelievers or we rationalize the things of God, we cannot stand with the righteous. Whatever it takes to return to God's way - prayer, faith, walking with the Spirit - we become like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf shall not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper. Psalms 1:3
God can do all things for those who believe. Pray, meditate on the Word, trust and obey.
Let's focus on believing the promises given to us by God, on submitting to Him the fears that we have, and on surrendering ourselves fully to the work and will of God, the Holy Spirit.
