Ponder your path!!

It is time to check yourself!

Are you going the right pathway?

Are you off the pathway

That leads you to the green pastures

 Of the Great Shepherd?

Are you going no where which leads to destruction?

Does your God have your undivided attention

 Or does the things of this life 

(the god of this world) have your attention?

 Get back on the right track!
In all your ways acknowledge Him!
He is the author and finisher of our faith!
Examine yourself in the faith!

Don't let anything be a distraction!

 Run the race that is set before you!!
Press toward the prize
Of the mark of the high calling!

Lay hold unto eternal life!

Wake up and open your eyes!!!

Seek first the kingdom of God
 And his righteousness!
Focus on Jesus!!
 

You need to ponder your pathway!

Get back on the right track!!!
Jesus is the only way!!!
Walk ye in it!!!
 

 Proverbs 4:26

The Message (MSG) 23-27
Keep vigilant watch over your heart;
that’s where life starts.
Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth;
avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip.
Keep your eyes straight ahead;
ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step,
and the road will stretch out smooth before you.
Look neither right nor left;
leave evil in the dust.

 

I Timothy 6:12

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. KJV


Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Proverbs 3:5  ( MSG)
^5-12 Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
    don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
    he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
    Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
    your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
    give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
    your wine vats will brim over.
But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline;
    don’t sulk under his loving correction.
It’s the child he loves that God corrects;
    a father’s delight is behind all this.

Philippians 3:12 

The Message (MSG)

 

 

^12-14 I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.

^15-16 So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it.
 

2 Corinthians 5 (MSG)^5-9 Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don’t drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups. You need firsthand evidence, not mere hearsay, that Jesus Christ is in you. Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it. I hope the test won’t show that we have failed. But if it comes to that, we’d rather the test showed our failure than yours. We’re rooting for the truth to win out in you. We couldn’t possibly do otherwise.

Ezekiel 30:21 KJV
²¹ And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

 Open arms
That is what I saw!
I saw God's open arms
Reaching out to me
and mankind!
I saw his face
Shine
With love and compassion!
Oh, how he longed to be
In my embrace!
If only I would respond
To his open arms!
It takes two to embrace!
As I looked at his face
And arms
I could no longer
Wait to be in his embrace!
As I ran into his embrace,
I could feel his embrace.
It felt so good to have my Father's embrace!
He held me tight!
It felt so right!
All the pain,
All the care,
All the sorrow
And despair
Left as I felt my Father's embrace!
As I was in his embrace
I knew this is where I belonged,
In the arms of the Almighty God!
Don't you see?
This is where you
Belong too.
