FOLLOW AND DO NOT STRAY!

” HE RENEWS MY STRENGTH. HE GUIDES ME ALONG THE RIGHT PATH, BRINGING HONOR TO HIS NAME.” PSALM 23:3

Listening is a completely different thing than is hearing. We can all hear things but still not be listening. To listen is to hear and to comprehend. We are to understand what others are saying and willingly take it in. Jesus wants us to listen. He wants us to comprehend what he is saying to us and then put his words in action in our lives. He tells us plainly that he renews our strength. Just as a phone needs recharging, we also need recharging. In order to recharge properly we must plug in the proper source. That source is the Holy Spirit of our God in heaven. We must allow the Lord to recharge and reset us. We must surround ourselves with his Word and much prayer. As we live our lives, we can sometimes wander off the path God and set before us. We may become sad, depressed, worried, doubtful and angry. It is at these times that we know it is time to recharge and again become joyful in the Lord. We must allow ourselves to consciencely keep our focus on the path before us and never stray. When we allow the Holy Spirit to direct and lead us, he keeps us focused on what is ahead. Our lives become stronger, and we bring honor to his glorious name. He loves us and we should love him. We must love him, not with mere words, but with action and complete faith and trust. He is our source, our strength and our destiny. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
