* We're On Our Way

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.
Psalm 25:4-5 NLT  


Abby Tuesday is the day during the week when my youngest granddaughter and I have a play date where we make up songs or she pretends she's the shopkeeper at her own general store (where everything either costs one dollar or 'fifty-six forty') or we snuggle on the sofa and "Let's watch kid movies, Granna!"

Regardless of what we do or what kind of mood she's in, we always sing "We're On Our Way" songs. Our travel music, if you will. To my house, we're on our way to Granna's house and there is the church... and the other landmarks showing the right route to take. When it's time for her to leave, we're on our way to Abby's house with landmarks that clearly define when we're getting close. Both versions always end with "And here we are!"

Yeah. Cute story, but what's it got to do with our Promise for Today? Tonight, I felt like the Lord was reminding me that we're on our way to His house. Our heavenly home. Do we know the right way? Are we following His landmarks? Are we making sure to not lose our way?!?

God gives us His promise a few verses further down in Psalm 25:8-10. From The Message - God is fair and just; He corrects the misdirected, Sends them in the right direction. He gives the rejects his hand, And leads them step-by-step. From now on every road you travel will take you to God. Follow the Covenant signs; Read the charted directions.

We're on our way to His house. Are we headed the right way?

Prayer:

Father,
           Show us the right path, O Lord; point out the road for us to follow. We want to be with You in Your house. Correct us and lead us in the paths of Your righteousness. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
