Crossroads

It's Monday morning and I find that again today as my feet hit the floor I'm at a crossroad.  Will I seek God's way or go my way today?  Will I react in my flesh as the day moves forward or will my actions and reactions be based on God's word and will for me today?

For the past several weeks  7 sisters in Christ and I have been going "Deeper Still"  as we have studied King David and examined the crossroads He faced as a man after God's heart. It has been an affirming journey while reading how and why God chose David over so many others who in appearance and age looked more suitable.  It's been affirming and yes, convicting as well, to see again that God sees us inside and out but he judges our hearts.  Everything we think say and do reveals the condition of our hearts.

So today while reflecting on the holiness of our Father in heaven I'm struck anew with His grace and mercy lavished upon His children.  His arms are reaching out to me  upon the path He has laid down for my life.  Behind Him I can see some rough and rocky patches to walk through.  The other path Is filled with tempting sights and sounds and the way appears smooth but God is not on that path.

I run to His Word for guidance -
"Now if you faithfully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow HIs commands I am giving to you today, the Lord your God will put you far above all the nations of the earth." Deuteronomy 28:1

"Does the Lord take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much in obeying the Lord?  Look: to obey is better than sacrifice, to pay attention is better than the fat of rams."
1Samuel 15:22

"How can a young man keep his way pure?  By keeping Your word; I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against you; I will walk freely in an open place because I seek your precepts." Psalm 119: 9, 11, 45

I choose your path today Lord...as David declared in Psalm 40:8 so say I -

"I delight to do your will, my God; Your instruction resides within me"

Are you at a crossroad?  Which direction will you take?

Seek God and walk with Him....it's always the right way!
