Pathway Lingering



'The path of right-living people is level.
The Leveler evens the road for the right-living.
 
We're in no hurry, God. 
We're content to linger in the path sign-posted with Your decisions.
Who You are and what You've done
are all we'll ever want.
 
Through the night my soul longs for You.
Deep from within me my spirit reaches out to You.'
 
Isaiah 26:7-9 {The Message}

  2. Any time I walk on a path, I think of Him and His leading, drawing me. Thank you so much for reminding me.

  3. "Through the night my soul longs for you..." (This is my prayer and may it be so, Lord).

    I have to say that nothing says it quite like The Message Bible.

  5. Because HE is my LEVELER, HE has a way of making every crooked way straight and making uneven things even just so that I can walk the path that HE has prepared for me - even in the presence of enemies! Be blessed.

Welcome to the table, friend!

This is where we gather and hang out. I'd love for you to pull up a chair and jump right into the conversation. Or simply say 'hello.'

l'll be dropping in to visit you sometime soon ...

Linda
