"Walk with Me along paths of trust... As soon as you realize you have wandered from your trust-path, look to Me and whisper, "I trust You, Jesus." This affirmation will help you get back on track... Anxious thoughts branch off in all directions, taking you farther and farther from awareness of My Presence... voice your trust in Me frequently...this will keep you walking along straight paths with Me." (264)
I love the verse found in Isaiah 26:3..."You will keep in perfect peace the mind that is dependent (stayed) on You, for it is trusting in You." (HCS)
The figurative paths we journey in our minds steal away our peace far more often than the literal paths we walk in life. I can roam down endless paths of frustration and fear that will become a worrisome reality only inside my own head! What a waste of "precious time and energy."
Jesus died for us to live an "abundant life" and many die having lived a burdened life...wandering down miserable paths Jesus never intended for His own.
The challenge is... to live like the redeemed we must think like the redeemed!

What is (HCS) referenced at the end of your second paragraph?
ReplyDeleteHCS refers to the Holman Christian Standard bible. Thanks, Amelia, for asking. Others may wonder, too.
