Bible Verse of The Day – 6-7-21

Psalm 16:11 (NKJV) 11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

The path of life; the place where we move toward Him, one step at a time.

He places our feet on that path. He gives us everything we need to walk that path.

He leads us. He guides us. He teaches us, convicts us, chastens us, encourages us, forgives us.

The rest is up to us. Do we walk this path and please Him? Or do we wander from it and please ourselves?

Sometimes this path can be hard. Things can come our way that hurt and make life difficult for a season.

Those things will typically draw us closer to God if we let them.

God can use them to teach us, shape us and mold us, if we let Him.

The question is, “will we let Him?”.

Will we follow Him, through good times and tough times, letting Him teach us? Or will we do our best to avoid discomfort, and step off the path in order to seek comfort and “the warm fuzzies”?

Sometimes the best thing for us is a good dose of truth. Truth can be uncomfortable. Sometimes it can downright hurt.

But truth will set us free if we let it.

We just have to let it. We have to be willing to embrace the truth in a way that helps us bear the pain and discomfort of making whatever changes need to be made for us to get free of the things that hurt us and rip us away from God and the path He has for us.

Will we seek truth and embrace it? Will we let God help us get free of the things that hurt us and try to destroy our relationship with Him?

Truth and freedom the hard way, or lies and the path of least resistance?

The choice is ours.
