Is my way His way?

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way. - Psalm 139:23-24 (LSB)

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until the fullness of day. - Proverbs 4:18 (LSB)

Thus says Yahweh,
Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And you will find rest for your souls. - Jeremiah 6:16 (NASB)

And a roadway will be there, a highway,
And it will be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean will not pass by on it,
But it will be for him who walks in that way,
And ignorant fools will not wander on it. - Isaiah 35:8 (LSB)

Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father but through Me. - John 14:6 (LSB)

You will make known to me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. - Psalm 16:11 (LSB)

Is it the desire of my heart to know and walk in the everlasting way?

Am I walking His way or my way?

When your will is God's will, you will have your will. - Charles Spurgeon

Partial obedience is disobedience.

Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him - Charles Stanley

Be Encouraged to walk obediently in the everlasting way.

Is your legacy eternal?

Thirty years ago, I had the opportunity to pay tribute to the most influential man in my life. One of the things I shared was that in the way he lived his life, Monday through Saturday were no different than Sunday. His Christlike behavior was not relegated to Sunday, it was lived out each day of his life. Whether he was teaching, coaching, officiating, negotiating, serving in the church, or driving a truck (his summer job), it was evident that his priority in life was to bring honor to the name of Jesus Christ. The pastor that spoke at his funeral credited him as one of the three most influential men in his life. As a young boy, I was blessed to be in the next room while he shared the Gospel at our kitchen table with a young man that he had coached in high school, and led him in the prayer of salvation. If you were to get up very early in the morning at our house and look down the hallway, you would see the light on in his study. If you looked in, you would see him either in his chair...

Am I a Daniel?

Then Darius the king wrote to all the peoples, nations, and men of every tongue who were inhabiting all the land: “May your peace abound! I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom, men are to fear and be in dread before the God of Daniel; For He is the living God and enduring forever, And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be unto the end. He saves and delivers and does signs and wonders In heaven and on earth, Who has also saved Daniel from the power of the lions.” So this Daniel enjoyed success in the kingdom of Darius and in the kingdom of Cyrus the Persian. - Daniel 6:25-28 (LSB) Impacted by Daniel and by the Lord, Darius the Mede expressed himself as if he had come to a point of personal trust in God for his salvation such as Nebuchadnezzar had before him. Daniel illustrated the evangelistic potency of a godly, uncompromising life. - John MacArthur Now when Daniel knew that the written document was signed, he entered his house (now i...

What is my response?

Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth. He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. And they sang a new song with these words: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.”   Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and...
