DAY FOUR, CHAPTER FOUR

How awesome is it when in the morning light breaks through the darkness. I love to go camping and experience the sun as it gently wakes you up. An alarm clock, no way. As we learn to walk in righteousness, we see more clearly as the light of God burns away the fog of life. How scary is it to be in total darkness. Not knowing what your next step holds. The darkness we should fear however is spiritual darkness. Even those that are physically blind can live in the light. An assurance that every step they take is ordered by the Lord.

Verse 21 says not to lose sight of God's words. We need to always keep the truth near by. The best way to do that is to lodge it deep into our hearts, replacing emptiness with fulfillment. God's interest is never in healing just a part of you. He sent his son Jesus to die that you could experience complete healing.

So as verse 23 says, guard your heart for it determines the course of your life. Don't allow Satan to use anything to get you sidetracked. Understand that he wants to destroy your life and will use anything to accomplish that. If the Word consumes your heart, there will be no room for any attack. You will be able to declared NO VACANCY, FULL HOUSE.

What we put in our minds and our hearts will eventually work its way out. The old adage is garbage in garbage out. Let's fill our minds with good things. The more we read Gods word, the more we gain wisdom and the more we will have the mind of Christ.

Chapter four ends with this; Look straight ahead and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Stay on the safe path. There are some adventures that take you off the main road. God has an amazing adventure for you and you don't need to put your self in danger to live out one of the most incredible journeys you have ever been on. Where He leads me I will follow.

Have a blessed Sunday.
