Road Trip

 

Make me to know Your ways,

                 O LORD.

Teach me Your paths.

                Psalm 25. 4

(Even in this thicket

            or miry bog,

following His leading

  on undiscovered trails,

that which are not so obvious,

even bushwhacking

               when necessary.

Not just a path or road through,

  but the manner and matter

  of walking with Him

          on this journey.

A path is engraved

   by frequent use

   and faithful following.

God always takes us

              somewhere,

and that would be

    a deeper relationship with Him.

A path is a course of life,

a mode of action,

     and a way of worship.

And our comings and goings

  will be very different

                 as a result.

And pave the way

          for many others.)

O LORD,

Guide us into this day.

Help us to be willing

   to follow You

in the familiar

         the unfamiliar,

         and the inconvenient,

   but always

   in what brings You glory,

even if it doesn't feel like it.

Teach us Your way

   into it

   and all the way through.
