Miss Kate has provided the word path for us to work on this weekend. Seems apt for the week I’ve had, a week filled with questions and perpetual busyness. Somethings have seemed a bit much and hard to work through than anticipated. Good has been seen which is a saving grace. Choices in the path ahead seem very relevant I am finding.
The Path Ahead
The path ahead
is lightly marked,
the forest green,
the rocks large, brambles thick.
Can one find their way through?
The path ahead
is filled with
frustrations and worry,
a cat peeing on towels,
and vexation runs high.
Can one find their way through?
Distractions and worry,
troubles and heartache,
doom and gloom every
where one looks.
Can one find their way through?
Doom scrolling, tv shows,
critters to walk,
work to do, so many
things that need doing,
that distract from eternal thoughts.
Can one find their way through?
The path is narrow,
the road is wide,
so many choices and
patterns of living.
Can one see their way clear?
What guidance will one seek?
What roadmaps to follow?
Does the company kept matter?
Are internal promptings feelings
or something more godly?
What conversations should one have?
The way through matters!
Choices made have consequences
even if we can’t see them immediately.
Sometimes a race started doesn’t have
to be finished. BUT if the race you are
in, is the ultimate, important one, this
would be the one to complete.
What God has to say about the path ahead
Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” This scripture highlights the importance of prayer in decision-making and the peace that comes from trusting God.
