Walking With the Lord - Lisa Patterson

Today's passage is Psalms. 37:23-31. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He
delights in His way. That means to please the Lord you must walk in His steps that he has ordered that are for you and specialized
for you to walk in and no one else has your steps. Everyone is different and is not in the same boat
or responsible for each other. but to know what you are to do and where to walk with him , you
must get to know him by his word and let Him speak to you the way he does for you. God's hand will guide and direct you in your walk
 Him.God will only do for you what you obey.
It is with much prayer and spending time with Him to know where you fit in his plan for you. He paid a high price for you to walk with Him.
The Lord guides and guards all who walk with Him. You may not get it right every time, but that
will not deter the Lord from being there for you again and again. he does not give-up on His children.
They are his own and although uit may not seem to be the way we expect or like always, it doesn't mean that is not his plan. we have to walk down narrow roads that are rusty, rocky, may be dirty,
broken, and full of things we don't like to walk on. We do not always like what we have to do to please him. it is not a bed of roses. If that is what you were taught, you were not taught right.
His ways are not our ways and we must follow to go down the narrow path. But you are headed
in the right direction when you walk with Him.Then as you go along a while and go through many
things he takes you through, things change and he takes you through even more narrower places
you had not dreamed about. He will ask you to walk on a higher plane with Him. It can get scary
not knowing where you are going and just holding on to His hand. he will  not let go and let you
down no matter what. he loves you with His gentle love no one can fathom. Have faith today.
The Lord said," Walk up the ladder with me and hold my hand. I will guide your steps and you won't
fall. It will be an experience you have not had before. But it is a faith walk and I have the handle on the ladder so there's no need in being afraid.I want you to look down and see what is below and
what's really going on so you can see where I am taking you and showing you what is going on
below. You cannot see the ground level from below, so I would have you walk up the ladder with
me and trust me and see what's going on below so you can be safe with my hand in yours."
