PATH OF LIFE - PART 2

FRIDAY 27 JUNE 2025

Continual access to "Path of life" is denotative of a substantial trust in God at empirical level, especially in all human affairs. To that effect, Proverbial Edition of Solomonic inspired utterance reads, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5 NLT). More below!

Reference: Psalm 16:11 GOD'S WORD® Translation (GWT)

"You make the path of life known to me. Complete joy is in your presence. Pleasures are by your side forever."

Today's article is focused on the first segmentary statement:

"You make the path of life known to me."

The notion that accompanies this segment suggests a progressive disclosure that occurs when one is habitually practising the presence of God. Simply put, God makes the path known, meaning that its not a "one off" disclosure, but a continuous system of divulgence. So there is an internal transformation that takes place in His presence, and that transformation is "path of life" which becomes visible to others, through your faith walk in the earthly realm.

The Holy Scriptures offer a theoretical analysis of the path of life. For instance, there is a lamp of guidance and light of direction that denote the "path of life" and it is being made known to us through the living Word of God. To that effect, the Psalmist stated, "Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path" (Psalm 119:105 NLT). Again, lamp is for guidance, while light is for direction, and both are the branches of "Path of life."

Another aspect of "path of life" that guarantees the certainty of divine grace and favour in your daily path from early morning is spiritual songs that are awesomely triggered in your spirit. They are "wake up" morning songs of praise and worship that well up inside your heart and spirit, and assure you of having the brightest day because the songs express the light of our heavenly Father's love.

As you sustain the sound details as an early morning "singing" regulated by your cogitative attention, you experience bright mornings of joy that multiply your peace and ensure an ongoing divine order amidst endless demanding influences in your daily routine, heap of outdoor activities, and throughout all the variety of occupations.

Those spiritual songs ensure that we sustain constant thought of divinity with us and in us, which is needful in increasing our viable strength, and in quickening the mind of Christ in us throughout the day. A Christian lifestyle based on "path of life" is an indicator of deep, intimate relationship with God, which generates abiding joy that transcends circumstances.

As born again Christians, how do we gain true access to constant path of life? And how does the "path of life" function in us? Ephesians 2:18 reads, "For it is through Him that we both have a [direct] way of approach in one Spirit to the Father" (AMP). In other words, it is through Christ that the Jews and Gentiles alike, have access to "path of life" revealed by the Father through His Spirit. Stay tuned for more on "path of life" in part 3. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - Psalm 37:3-5; Proverbs 3:6; Proverbs 22:19; John 14:6.

Heavenly Father, I bless your Holy Name for always revealing the path of life to my spiritual understanding and through my faith-based expressions, which reflects a judicious trust in your rewarding presence and all-powerful ability, in Jesus' Name, Amen!
