Psalm 36:7-9
How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. They are filled with food from your house, and you allow them to drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

From Gods Heart to Yours by Patricia Hamel ~ The Right Path
Today you are looking for directions and wanting to know which path to take. I will lead you and reveal the path that you are to follow. My path is a straight and narrow path and it leads to life. Few are looking for this path but you have found it. Now stay on it and listen for My directions. I will lead you and guide you through My Word and you will know the still small voice of God. Whosoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. (NKJV) |
Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls."
It's neat how the actions of seeking the Lord's path, finding it, choosing it and walking in it are related to finding rest for your souls!
:)
And yes -- this way is narrow!
Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Stand at the crossroads and look
Seek the Lord your God with all your heart
... with all your soul
ASK for the ancient paths
ASK for the way that is good
ASK and then walk in His way
ASK and follow His lead don't be afraid.
He IS the way, He is Truth, He is life. ... (Jn 14:6)
Stand at the crossroads and look
Love the Lord your God with all your heart
Keep his commands, decrees and laws
Follow His lead -- step by step walk in His ways
Enter thru the narrow gate ... (Mt 7:13-14)
You will be blessed, you will find rest
In Jesus Christ alone your soul will find rest ... (Ps 62:1)
A holy habitation, a rock of refuge
To which you may continually come ... (Ps 71:3)
Eternal God, our dwelling place
And underneath are the everlasting arms! ... (Deut 33:27)
Come enter His rest Today! ... (Heb 4:11)
Deuteronomy 30:15-16
See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
Hebrews 4:11
Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall ...
Exodus 33:12-14
Moses said to the LORD, "You have been telling me, 'Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with me.' If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people."
The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
Exodus 33:17-23
And the LORD said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name."
Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory."
And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live."
Then the LORD said, "There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen."
John 3:8
The wind blows (breathes) where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Set Free!
Set free by the Spirit of the LORD
The breath of life breathes
The fragrance of sweet wine fills. ... (Acts 2:13)
A seed sent
Furnishing seed for the sower, bread for the eater
Will not return void. ... (Isa 55:10-11)
A seed born
Soars on the wings of His wind
A mighty rushing blows where it wills
Fragrance spread abroad .
A seed sown
Freedom rains, liberty proclaimed ... (Isa 61:1)
Captives set free.
Set free by the Son
Free indeed! ... (Jn 8:36)
Song of Solomon 4:16
[ Beloved ] Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread abroad.
Song of Solomon 2:1
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Quote:

Yes walk thru the valley -- without fear -- for He the lily of the valley is LORD and is with you!
***
The Lord doesn't leave us in the valley by ourselves. He is with us, He will comfort us, He will lead us.
God wants us to walk thru the valley with Him by our side!
***
So if you feel like you're in a valley today -- look for the lily -- bright as the Morning Star and remember He is the LORD of the valley and He is with you -- keep walking thru with Him by your side! Don't stop walking! Don't give up -- step by step keep moving forward! Jesus Christ is LORD!
He's the Lily of the Valley,
the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessed will;
A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear,
From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face,
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll.
I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
