I Have Kept to His Way

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside — Job 23:10-11

I haven't actually kept to God's way.

Even so, He knows the way that I take.

And His hand guides me, catching me when I veer off the course He has planned for me.

My feet have closely followed His steps some of the time.

Occasionally I have kept to God's way.

But I am guilty of turning aside more often than I care to admit.

In spite of my errant footsteps, He loves and cares for me.

Thank You, Lord!

He Knows the Way I Take

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.— Job 23:10-11

Welcome, March!

Last night we had choir in person.

Socially distanced and wearing masks.

Really fun to be back singing together.

Working on music for Good Friday and Easter.

On Saturday we will sing for our service for the first time in about a year.

And Abby will get her first vaccine this week.

Praise God for His goodness.

He cares for us in many ways.

God knows the way that we take.

We are grateful.

The Lord Upholds Me

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. — Psalm 37:23-24

This Psalm of David puts it so well: The Lord makes my steps firm.

I delight in God.

Even when I stumble, God holds me upright.

He does not let me fall.

He upholds me with His hand.

And he provides friends and family to hold me up, too.

He has held me up during this season of my cancer.

He has given me strength to move forward and not give up.

When I wasn't sure of the way, God kept me on the right path.

And even now, when I hesitate, He prods me on.

God's Will

I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart. — Psalm 40:8

When I follow God's will, I am filled with joy and delight.

His law and commands are written on my heart.

His Holy Spirit lives within me and guides my steps.

Last week we traveled to Paso Robles with friends and visited this barrel room.

We had a fun time and thanked God for a wonderful trip.
