Jesus Calling-September 9 Walk with Me along paths of trust. The most direct route between point A and point B on your life-journey is the path of unwavering trust in Me. When your faith falters, you choose a trail that meanders and takes you well out of your way. You will get to point B eventually, but you will have lost precious time and energy. 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. The farther you roam along paths of unbelief, the harder it is to remember that I am with you. Anxious thoughts branch off in all directions, taking you farther and farther from awareness of My Presence. You need to voice your trust in Me frequently. This simple act of faith will keep you walking along straight paths with Me. Trust in Me with all your heart, and I will make your paths straight. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal. —Isaiah 26:4 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. —Psalm 9:10 Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. —Psalm 25:4–5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. —Proverbs 3:5–6 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. 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. 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! Rethinking Redeeming Thoughts...
