~Road To No Where~

At times I can be a thinker and a ponderer. I watch myself

and I watch others and I find it interesting to see the many

paths that we people can find ourselves on. Are we , am I , on

the path that the Lord would have me be on or am

I on the path made by my own decisions and choices.

Taking away the lead from the Lord. I know

that it is so easy to stray off the path, that in a quick

moment of time I can be off and planning my own way.

My way never leads in the direction that is best for my steps

to follow. It seems to happen so quickly before I know it

I am on a road to nowhere. Oh I work real hard on this road.

I keep moving, thinking,planning and fixing the path I am on.

...but still I get nowhere.

~Road To Nowhere~

What brings out the best

isn't perfection you see.

What makes me the best is those

things that bring me to my knees.

~

In this world when I do

it on my own,

I can leave God out, but His

love of me keeps me never alone.

~

He gently on my shoulder will tap,

He'll be patient as He waits

for me to rest in His arms, taking time

to sit upon His lap.

~

I fight so hard to be all

that I can be.

He waits so patiently for me

to give all my heart to him and for

my eyes to open and clearly see.

~

No pressure does He place

upon me while I on my own stand.

He allows the consequences of my actions

to teach me, but always waits with His

outstretched hand.

~

Am I choosing a road to no where,

not looking to Him above?

Or is what I need to seek is His path,

given to me with His perfect love?

A trip through the Psalms shows me a lot about

the Lord's path for me. It is a loving path with many

words of encouragement: He guides me, He restores my soul,

He teaches me, He sets my heart free, His path provides me with

delight, He fills me with joy, He keeps my feet from slipping, Keeps my

ankles from turning, He provides a light to my path. With

all that the Lord provides for me why would I ever think my own

road could ever be better. He loves me and leads me better

then I could ever lead myself!

Where is your road going? Toward God or is it

a road to nowhere? I am so glad that God is who He is.

His path is peaceful and it leads somewhere I want to be.
