Knowing the way

Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.  -Psalm 25

"Your ways, your paths."  God has carved out a way for his people to go that is different from the paths the world is on.  It takes a road map, or rather a path map.  His ways are not hidden, but they are not the normal paths everyone else walk.  

There are times when walking on his paths, in his way seems lonely, but there are multitudes who have walked these paths before us.  Multitudes more looking for the path now.  Along the way you will find a host of friends and encouragers who are also following his paths, looking for his ways.  We all know that most of the world around us will not find this path...honestly they don't want to, but for those who do God tells you this,

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. -Psalm 25

Not only will you discover a new destination on the path God has made, but you will have friends, people who care about you and love you as you travel his path.  How do you find it? How do you get off the main road and discover God's trail, his path?  The map for the way is his word, the Bible.  

Many around me tell me they are taking their own path, their own way and they will get to God as well, but God has made clear....much to the world's anger...that there is only one way, one map, one hope.  You need a map to find it or you will simply wander aimlessly never finding the God at the end of a narrow path he has built.  He's not trying to hide it, in fact he invites everyone to walk it, but many simply say, "I'll make my own path." and they never discover the God they are looking for.

How do you know the way? How do you find this narrow path? Read God's word. His map to the path is woven all through it.  Everywhere you read he's pointing the way as he helps you walk it.  He wants everyone on his path, he desires everyone to find him.
