I had a hard time again this week trying to narrow down one day....
I have two again.....
Walk and Faint Not... based on Isaiah 40:25-31~
This reminded me of a few years ago while I was struggling
with homeschooling. The Lord gave me Galatians 6:9 "And
let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not." It was so helpful as the Lord showed me
it is a good thing (the well doing) to teach at home and there
would/will be reaping in the end if I do not faint.
Shirley makes a point in the book by saying we need to wait,
as verse 31 in Isaiah says....wait in His presence for the strength
to go on and not faint or grow weary.
Walk in the Good Way..... Jeremiah 6:15-17~
I mainly liked her illustration in this one, but here's the overview:
The Lord was telling the children of Israel to walk in the old paths,
the good way, but they said they would not... how sad! To tell the
Lord no......but how many times do I tell the Lord no.....We know
the way to walk, but we refuse to do it...
Here's the illustration.... "Some of the old train and stagecoach roads
in the Colorado mountains contain the most beautiful scenery of God's
creation. Although newer highways have been constructed which
afford you to arrive at your destination more quickly, the old paths
afford QUIETNESS, BEAUTY, and REST to the inner man."
(Emphasis mine) I have seen some of those old roads so it is easy to
picture the beauty, quietness & rest she is talking about.... I want to
walk in those old paths.... how about you?
