Lead me LORD, lead me in thy righteousness..
Make Thy WAY straight before my face.
Psa.5:8
Jesus said I Am The WAY..”
John.14:6
We are all pilgrims on a journey – a journey across the wilderness of life,
If I am to be successful in my pilgrimage – I must be on the right track,
If I am to successfully complete my passage through life –I must walk the right Way.
The Way is not smooth – indeed there are many sharp stones that tear at my feet..
– there are many circumstances that rip me apart and tear and cut and bruise me.
But Thy Word is a lamp to my feet..
~ and a light to my pathway.
It it to the believer that Christ told us that the Way is straight and narrow..
~ and few there are that find it…
For once born from above the believer has two choices – the broad way or the narrow way.
Many Christians choose the wider path through life – where Self is the focus ..
for if you seek to save your life (life in the Greek = soul)
you will lose your life (life in the Greek = soul)” Luke.17:33
Eternally saved – but choosing to live the self-life and not His Christ-life.
Receiving the gift of Eternal Life,
– yet like Esau, despising the associated inheritance.
A few seek to follow Christ in the Way of the Cross – where Christ is the focus..
~ for if you lose your life (your soul) for My sake, you will find it…
~ for many are called but few are chosen,
~ and I have chosen you…
If I sincerely and earnestly progress along the path of Christ ~ the Way of the Cross...
My experience in life will be patterned after His life and His earthly walk.
I shall discover that as I try to save others ~ I shall not be able to spare myself,
I shall find that as I travel along the path of His calling ~ all distractions must go,
– and like Him, I must steadfastly set my face as a flint toward the goal of my calling.
All the superfluous necessities that flood my life ~ must be hammered out..
All the encumbrances of the binding grave-clothes ~ must be stripped away..
All the urgent needs that demand such a high priority on my time ~ must be cut out.
For the need is not the call ~ and the urgent is not the important……
~ IF I am follow the path that Christ trod before me,
~ IF I am to follow the Way of the Cross.
Many and varied were the things that Christ could have achieved in His walk
Good things, – great things – had His choice been more humanly orientated.
But He chose to do the will of the Father in all things..
He chose to meet the challenge of Calvary head-on.
He was straightened and paired ~ until all things were achieved.
His was truly a narrow Way ~ His was the only Way.
His Way was certainly the Father’s Way,
And His Way must be our Way…
And His Way must not only BE our Way – for He IS The Way – the only Way.
Any other route we travel through life that is not totally centered on Christ -
Is the wrong way… and a dangerous way.
