I got this up morning as usual and spent time with the Lord. By mid-day it seemed that every was falling apart and I called out to God. The answer was not immediate, probably because He needed for me to know that this pathway is not covered with only rose petals. There are thorns on it and sometimes we do step on them and when they penetrate our tender flesh it hurts.

God did answer and the answer was that many others do love God. We may at times feel like Elijah serving God all alone. Elijah was wrong and so are we when we think that way. Give God the glory! Praise His holy name!

The way [our way] can be strewn with boulders, over which we may stumble
Let us for the 'light' with which to negotiate a safe path

One 'step' at a time, can aid us to ascend a mountain
and our endurance [and faith] is a gift from Him, who is our Saviour and Redeemer

Our Lord is faithful and all-forgiving... keep looking forward and upward

Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)


Thank you Lord

No one can steal our joy, but us...
I cannot trust among men even me.
God I can trust!



We, all of us, sin and perhaps in many ways [without thinking]

When we recognize our error, we can be contrite
and, in sincere remorse, pray for forgiveness and know,
that we are forgiven
Not that, we will seek to sin and then, be hopeful of being forgiven
but rather in inadvertence and/or, with selfishness /self ingratiating ways

We must "die to self" [?]

God is our hope
