Jesus Calling July 14

Today's reading of Jesus Calling really just gave me so much hope and a real sense of peace. It is hard to summarize or give thoughts on something so touching like that. 
For those who do not read Jesus Calling, I will post it here.

Keep walking with Me along the path I have chosen for you. Your desire to live close to Me is a delight to My heart. I could instantly grant you the spiritual riches you desire, but that is not My way for you. Together we will forge a pathway up the high mountain. The journey is arduous at times, and you are weak. Someday you will dance light footed on the high peaks; but for now, your walk is often plodding and heavy. All I require of you is to take the next step, clinging to My hand for strength and directions. Though the path is difficult and the scenery dull at the moment, there are sparkling surprises just around the bend. Stay on the path I have selected for you. It is truly the path of Life.

Psalm 37:23-24 (MSG)
Stalwart walks in step with God;
      his path blazed by God, he's happy.
   If he stumbles, he's not down for long; 
      God has a grip on his hand.

Psalm 16:11 (MSG)
Now you've got my feet on the life path,
      all radiant from the shining of your face.
   Ever since you took my hand, 
      I'm on the right way.



From reading all that, to me, it is God telling me individually, that I am on the right path. I am in a good place. I will be okay no matter what. 

Psalm 37:23-24 is a verse that shows how strong one is. A stalwart is just a brave and strong, uncompromising and steadfast follower. If that is you, or if you become that, then you will never be down for long. God will pull you right back up to your feet. If you just keep walking with Him, even when times get hard just hold on. He is everything. Take each step as He guides you and everything will truly be alright.
