The Path Of Righteousness

May 19, 2014 Leave a comment Edit

The path of righteousness will always take you closer to God. The problem for some is that stepping onto the the path, and remaining on it, requires a heart eager to repent. Repentance is essential to walking with God; and the Holy Spirit’s role of convicting our hearts is a vital part of our walk. Without an ear bent toward the Holy Spirit, we would continue blindly on our way through life; unaware of what path we might be traveling on.

It’s in our nature to take the path of least resistance and often we never miss a step as we change directions. The enemy fills our ears with the lie that we are deserving of whatever our flesh desires and settling for anything less is depriving ourselves of God’s best for our lives.

The most dangerous path for us is the one that we often get onto without realizing what has happened. In most cases we take it because our pride resist the Holy Spirit’s voice; the path of “New Age” thinking where God, is a God that does not judge sin, is far easier to travel down than the one of repentance. The deception that the world would be a peaceful place, if we all would just “get it” is a lie straight from the pit of hell. There will never be peace on the earth until the “Kingdom Of God” is established; and we can never have true peace within, until His rule is established in our life.

To think that there is a path we can travel that will never end up at the Judgement Day, and that God accepts us as we are without the redemptive work of Jesus, is a slippery slope of NO RETURN.
We will ALL give account for our travels, not only for ourselves but all those who have followed us.

King David was a man who had taken a wrong turn, and was headed in the wrong direction; when God sent a prophet to him to convict him of his sin. What makes King David truly a great man in God’s eyes is found in Psalm 51…David realized who he was as a man, and the importance of a broken, contrite spirit before God.

We do not exist because some loving cosmic power, created life just to fill the earth and universe with love. We exist because God
established the plan for the Kingdom of His Son before the foundations of the earth; (Ephesian 1st chapter) and He desires a people who are full of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to fill it; not to just fill it, but to rule and reign with Him.

There are many paths set before us in this life; and rightly so! God knows the power sacrifice brings to our lives; and He directs us by example. When Jesus died for us, He made the power available to us through the Holy Spirit…it is now up to us, to choose the path that leads to the kingdom of God. Here and only here lies the peace that man works so hard to achieve; the peace of being in the presence of a Living God.
