Today’s Thought “Flares On the Highway” G. Ward

“Set up for yourself roadmarks, place for yourself guideposts; direct your mind to the highway, the way by which you went. Return, O virgin of Israel, Return to these your cities.” Jeremiah 31:21

Spiritual destitution won’t ever rely on money nor geography for its rescue. I’ve witnessed more people pack up and move to another city, synonymous with sleeping away misery then awakening to the same grief. There is however a way of riddance achievable: It trusts a process in faith that begins with repentance for assuming a role never given as king over the life given by the King of all Kings. Secondly, it abhors the desolation in times past when facades of well being were seemingly the only defense mechanism that kept me from being embarrassed. Moreover, it determines a patience in fervent practice of a transformed life that emanates from Holy God control; refusing other philosophical guideposts (no matter the eloquence, cf. Ac.4:12) via daily study of God’s will (HIS word). Then, the ugly duckling on a beautiful lake becomes the majestic swan not impressed by its new found beauty because its lens looks within one’s own soul to marvel at Holy God’s mercy.

Happy Wednesday!
